Default Getting shocks/springs installed, what to tell shop?

Hey all, I'm getting my L-Tuned shocks and Eibach springs (and p-zero tires) installed tomorrow by a local shop specializing in imports. Is there anything special I need/should tell the installer when installing this setup. My 99 GS300 will be getting a 4 wheel allignment and tranny maintenance as well. Thanks...

Should be pretty straight forward, installation should be around $200-$300.

Keep the stock bump stops on the shocks. The L-tuned bump stops has been known to create noise.

Bump stops staying stock. Do not have a quote breakdown for all work being done, but I will know when I pick it up today. Thanks for the replies!

I thought that someone, or maybe 2 people, have posted recently that they started getting some kind of check engine light after a suspension upgrade.

Basically, it boiled down to a sensor on the front suspension area getting damaged somehow.


Just make sure they realize you have no C.E.L. light or anything 'on' before the work begins!

The problem is with the ABS and VSC indicator lights on because of damaged sensors. I would definitely point this out to the shop if they haven't down a lot of GS suspension...
