Browsing on RacingSolution.com and found they posted the following lowering springs:

-Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs 1"-1.5"
-Eibach Sportline lowering springs 1.7"-2.3"
-H&R Sport lowering springs 1.5"-2"

All of which are for the 2011+ tC2

Here's a link.... http://www.racingsolution.com/scion/...3-4-5-6-7-8-9/

The springs have been on their website for a little while, but if you look at the full product description, there is a note at the bottom.

"These springs are brand new. There will be a delay before these ship from Eibach."

tein s is the way to go!
bought mine for 220. + install and alignment for 175

MykeJ

jtk2 where did you get yours installed for 175?

Papa_Bear

Oh no! That site messed up. I just talked to eibach last week and they still have not even had a tC in there to make springs yet. Last I heard these wouldn't actually be completely ready for the public until as late as the end of this year. That place is going to have some unhappy customers with those eibachs on there site. The reason it probably got added is because eibach makes a part number way in advance before the part comes out.

i know a guy that works at a shop and he did it for me.

Cool wishI had that luck

Install them yourself! It's free yo

jtk2

lol.
i woulda done them myself..but guy i know works at a shop, has a strut compressor and could do alignment all at the same time. so figured that was the best thing to do. only thing that sucks is that i need to get a rear camber kit..

jtk2

and mykej. if you lived in houston i could get you the same deal!

For anyone considering TRD springs and lacking resources for an install, they are $399 installed at any Toyota dealer. A pretty comparable deal to the Houston hookup.

jtk2

thats not bad..
but trd springs (1" drop) compared to tein s techs (1.5f-1.8r)
tein all the way even if i did have to pay a little extra to install them without a discount!!

Don't get me wrong, with your hookup, I'd be all over those tein's!...that's just for those of us who aren't so fortunate

Papa_Bear

Damn I do springs for 100 through my business and I'm mobile lol. I can't do alignments but its only 79 or something for alignments at our local Toyota dealership. Too bad you guys don't live in the bay area!

where did u find that $399 price? I called up dealers and they all quote me $600+ on installation alone.

$600 for installation is high...

When I spoke to my dealer, they quoted the equipment and labor separately. ~$250 for the springs and 4 hrs labor (including alignment). Not exactly sure what they charge for labor, but I'm sure it's at least $50/hr (probably more like $80-$90).

TRDsparks.com has the TRD springs for $203. Install is pretty straight forward (Papa Bear's video is great), you only need common tools and $70 for an alignment. Just MAKE SURE you have everything clocked correctly. I may have screwed that up and I can't find a baseline to go back to. :?

donsun

So far 3 dealers I spoke to all have quoted ~$700 for labor saying that it'll take 7~8 hours for the install, and with labor being $95/hr...

greenbean24

Wow! I mean as if $700 wasn't a lot, 7-9 hours install time?!! That's robbery....

One guy can put in lowering springs in an hour, maybe two...

Am I wrong in thinking this?

1stOne

^Nope. Not at all. The rears on this car are peanuts. The fronts take a little longer.

Maybe 2 hours tops. Dealer will buffer to maybe 4 hours just to be safe. Still not bad.
