Scion Canada

To clarify...

Parts only MSRP is $315. You get all 4 springs, 2 new bump-stops and 2 new top nuts.

The reason the installed MSRP is so high is because unless you select a specific dealer, the site will default to the highest hourly rate in the default province, which in Ontario is $150/hr.

How come we down here in the US only get 2 bump-stops and 2 top nuts?

Scion Canada

^^ corrected my mistake in the post above. We also only get 2 new bump-stops and nuts.

Thanks!

I'd like to add a bit more to my explanation of pricing; we list the install time for tC TRD lowering springs at over 5 hours, as it includes the flat rate time to perform an alignment.

Couldn't be further from the truth. In some cases, Canadians actually get a better price on the parts. The prices you see on the web take into account installation. Check with your local dealer for part only prices!

The US site does say $399 installed though. The only justification for a $1000+ price would be if it included alignment like Colin said. Even that seems like a stretch.

This is pure speculation here, but if you read the fine print on scion.com, it says that the $399 price is the manufacturer's suggested retail price of accessories installed by the manufacturer. My guess is that this would be the price if the lowering springs are installed at the vehicle processing facility (port), before they reach the dealer. This might also explain why it seems no one has been able to get a quote from a dealer for $399.

As for the $1000+ price, as I mentioned before, this is calculated based on $150/hr door rate. I'd bet most dealers are closer to $100/hr... which would bring the installed price (pre-tax) to ~$875, including an alignment.

Best suggestion: Call your dealer and talk to them!

All I'm saying is, if you look at the american site, then the Canadian site, without knowing all the details about what an "installed price" means, it's a ridiculous difference in price.

Why can't the site just list the msrp for the parts themselves, with a note saying "call your local dealer for installation price"

For a company that talks a lot about "pure pricing", posting a worst-case price $1155 for springs is plain misleading, and not a very good sales model.

I was wondering has anyone purchased the eibach springs from racing solution? Or is everyone still waiting?

donsun

Papa_Bear

I hear the guy that owns it is cool ;) lol!

snjTC

i have the eibach pro kit. i got it from www.thmotorsports.com...

john2011TC

is the eibach sportsline the lowest drop for springs? cuz i want to slam mine at 4 inches but coils arent out so i want the most drop on springs. when i was on racing solution it said the eibach sportlines drop it about 1.7/2.3? accurate?

Papa_Bear

In my past experience, s-techs have had the lowest drop. It would for sure be about the same as the sportlines if not lower.

johndeo11

so even if you have TRD springs if you install coils it'll drop more???
-noob...

Papa_Bear

Coilovers are ugly adjustable which includes height adjustment. TRD springs have a very mild drop even next to other springs such as s-techs. But coilovers would give you full height control

johndeo11

oh okae...
i just want my car more lowered... like least 2".
thanks much...
