Alright, I've decided to go with the H&R/Tokico setup. How much should I expect install to be for the springs and shocks? Thanks.

 

Ranges from $40-65 per corner. In other words, around $200 total.

Price is the same whether you change shocks only, springs only, or both, since the labor for each procedure is identical.

 

Cool, I see that you also have Tokicos and H&R's. How do you like the setup? Alotta people are saying Tokicos go bad soon, but I don't really do hard driving, plus I drive in suburbs, so I guess it'll be alright? Thanks.

 

if your gonna do springs and shocks do them at the same time. Itll be cheaper.Its like $40 per shock when done alone... im sure thell do it cheaper when you lower it. I got my ride dropped for like $230 for Sprint 2" drop. I got the KYB for $292 and $20 to install them for a homie that put them in. Hit 2 birds with one stone if you know what i mean.

 

I love the setup. The ride is "supposed" to be compliant (the H&R's have the most "stock" ride), but in reality it is quite harsh in anything but brand new asphalt. It might be due to my 17" rims as well. Anyways, the handling is excellent...I've driven up and down Highway One on the Northern California coast at insane speeds and the car sticks on corners like glue.

As for my Tokicos, I've had them for around 15k so far (got them used with 5k miles on them already, so they really have 20k on them), and they seem fine to me. Like I said before, if you are hardcore, then pay extra for the front Konis and have them custom installed. If you get Tokicos, you can install them yourself and save a bundle. Most car stores like Kragen or Napa rent out spring compressors (the only special tool you need) for free or for a small deposit like $20 or so.
