^ exactly thats the whole point. we all know cali is a heavily modded car area especially in socal so its supply and demand. like henry said cheaper prices. i wish i could get suspension work done for $150. hell i'd pay that just so i dont have to spend a few hours doing it myself.

Emissions inspection is every 2years and I believe has absolutely nothing to do with anything but pollution output. In MD the only time you need inspection is when change in ownership occurs, in which case it's not my problem. I do however have to be careful about the police cause they will give me a repair order and then I have to get my Trooper friend to sign off

I paid $250 to 300 in Dallas then another $100 for the alignment for my spring install. $160 sounds way cheap.

I just received a quote from a guy in PHX for $250. If I would've bought the springs from him he would've gone $200. Still, that's alot better than $440 though.

I paid $80 to get my DFs installed at a Toyota Dealership. Also, if you are foregoing with this plan, make sure you adjust your headlight levelers or you'll get the AFS light indicator in your display.

you dont have to adjust them, you just dont touch the arm for it and move it. doing that will cause the AFS light to come on.
