These guys have been doing this for many different cars so paying a little bit premium is not much. CircuitMS is charging 2100+ on their website too, so it seems the price is pretty close. 150$ for install and adjustment sounds too good to be true unless there is someone in the Bay Area who can do it this cheap.

That's stupid cheap for the install. I used to charge $200 for springs on Scion tCs, and we had it down to an hour and a half for two of us.

No, I don't do that stuff anymore. Just my own stuff.

So 400 for tax + install + setting again + alignment is good price right?

NICE!!! how difficult of an install was it? How'd you compare the ride now to my '11? I WANT coilovers SOOO bad but may have to wait as I"m pretty sure we're going to build a new house in the next few months and $$ will be tight..

OK
The new coil-overs are installed. It is at 2 settings below the max. I am not sure of the springrate etc, but there is more road feel. Car seems to behave well at low speeds. I have driven only 80 miles of highway 101 mostly so cannot give any concrete conclusions, but I will take it to the mountains and give you some comparisons. I will go in for adjustment after the first 500 miles. That is when the height etc will be adjusted. Currently I like how it sits in the front. I will post pictures a little later.

Mine can barely clear the driveway. How much did front & back get lowered with KW's stock settings?
