Do you guys suggest shocks, or is it ok to just get TRD springs? I dont mean to threadjack but it could help someone else out by bringing it up.

Yours sits even lower then mine, did you do something weird to the hanger? I only have about a quarter inch or so of clearance from the bumper(this is how I have seen all the other Injens also).

If you are talking about mine, then yes I had to have a new hangar made so it wouldnt touch the bumper. They tried to bend it but it was stainless steel which made it very dificult. Mine is a Tsudo extreem axelback. About the lowering question does anyone know if you NEED new shocks when buying springs like the TRD ones?

Thanks

I believe I got mine from http://www.showstoppersusa.com, 360 free shipping, or you could get it from http://www.intensescion.com, 345 and that would be local, so you may have to pay tax.

Ugh, i did the same thing you are thinkin of doin. I got my tanabe concept G, an invidia S pipe and hotchkins lowering springs and went to get them all installed on the same day liek a big ___ birthday present for my car. I took it all to munro muffler and asked for a quote and the guy was unsure becuase it was all hour based labor and no set price. Turns out for the s-pipe and exhaust it was only 70 bucks, The springs however were quoted as 6 hours of work and came out to 500 bucks.. I went there with 200 hoping it would be enough, so needless to say I have my spipe and exhaust on (love them!) but I need to wait for another paycheck for the springs. Basically if oyu are getting springs isntalled in a shop expect to pay a good amount of cash unless you have some friends in teh business or with the knowhow to do it. And if you can do it on your own then you saved 500!

6 hours of work is bs, every shop I have called here says its 2 hours which is usually around 180 bucks. I would tell that shop to give you a better quote/stop trying to rip you off.
