Thanks guys!

Just curious if you remember, how much did the dealer charge to have these installed?

Tennis100

Yeah, it was around $700 labor cost! Very expensive.

I paid $300 through an independent shop to have the springs installed.

noycy003

damn! do you guys know if there are warranty issues if i go through a independent shop that specializes in toyota/lexus?

Your only warranty issue is if they can prove that the service or part you had installed is the cause of whatever part or issue you are trying to fix under a warranty claim.

For instance, if your radio breaks, they can't say your warranty is voided because of springs.

But if you're having suspension problems...they can point the the shop and/or springs and make a case for that being the cause.

Tennis100

Yeah, that would void the warranty for the suspension. :/

Edit: ^^^^ Yeah, exactly what Hypebeast said!

It would be great if you had a side comparison of "before & after"

do you happen to have a side shot? im on the edge of getting these springs and wonder how it'll look with 18" wheels

I have 18" wheels with the F-sport springs, however I wanted to fill in the gaps around the wheel-well so I went with larger tires; 1" larger in diameter to be exact. I ended up not getting the car much lower because the springs lower it about 3/4" to 1" and the new wheels raised it up 1/2". I think it looks allot better and much more premium without the "cheap" looking wheel gaps that I associate with a Toyota corolla however if I were to do it over, I would probably just put in adjustable coil-overs so I could set the ride height exactly what I wanted it to be. I think the coil-overs are cheaper to install because they are an already assembled unit. It might offset the cost of the product itself.

I got a local guy do it for $400 cash. The dealership wasn't too concerned about warranty issues however as stated by other members, it's only your warranty pertaining to that exact part of the car that could be affected.

I will say however that the ride is fantastic with low-profile wheels and the F-sport springs. They say that they were tested at Nürburgring and it shows. In sport mode I can really throw the car into the corners and stay grounded. I think the F-sport spoiler also helps a bit as well.
