Prices on F-sport installation?
Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. I just purchased a 2008 IS350 sports package with F-sport Cold air intake and F-sport exhaust system about a month ago. I am interested in purchasing the F-sport sway bar and springs from sewell lexus online but I want to know if anyone knows what the charge of installation is for these 2 items would cost at dealer. Thanks in advance.

I would imagine it's a bit on the expensive side. Installing them yourself would obviously be the cheapest option. All that's required is a quick spring compressor rental from auto zone.

Thanks for the help. The exhaust was added into the total cost of the car as for the F-sport Cold Air Intake, they told me it had to be purchased separately. both items are on my car now. I want to upload some vids as soon as the weather gets better out here in Chicago.

That is funny because my dealership was charging me $880 for the spring because it is $55 an hour for 16 hours of work. They even said the car needs to kept in the dealership for a day or two. They were also charging an extra $100-$150 for wheel alignment work time when the overall process shouldn't even take more than 4 hours with alignment.

Time to look for other places for installation.

Funny you asked, I emailed Sewell themselves about installation since I live in Dallas and here was their response:
The labor to install the sways is $421.87
The labor to install the springs and struts is $718.02
Recommend to have a 4 wheel alignment with this suspension work; $129.95
If the chart above is legit, then Sewell charges roughly $220 per hour in labor...

Ah yeah I just noticed the URL of the image. I'm definitely going to print it off and use it as a bargaining tool if I do decide to get any of the F Sport parts.
