Default New Rims!!

Put on my new rims yesterday. Just washed and waxed. That gap is bothering me
How much would I expect to pay to get a set of tein cs coilovers including installation? $1500? I will not even attempt to do it myself. Too lazy and i'm still having nightmares of when i lowered my integra.

Wheels looks good along with the wax job. Installation quoted to me by the local Lexus dealer for all 4 Bilstein PSS's is $391.00

Looks good fluke

Just so you guys know, it shouldn't take no more than 2 hours to install the teins.
Average dealer cost should be in the $75/hr or even $100/hr so should be no more than $200, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
To adjust the height will take 30 min to 1 hr since it's already on the lift.

coilovers are pretty easy to install honestly

it takes about an hour tops once you have em setup to the height you want

ride looks really nice also

Nice color and wheel combo.. I set of coils will help a lot. I paid 200.00 to get mine installed.. Check with Carson on the pricing of the new Tein CS.
