$85 for F-Spring install?
Does $85 for an F-Spring installation sound too good to be true? This place has been in business a long time, but I'm nervous. I had another shop quote me $225 and another for $153.

$153 sounds the most reasonable. its about 2 hours worth of work.

Yeah $85 is a great deal if you trust them. Ask to see if they do an alignment too.

That price seems low, but then again, places that I checked around here wanted 400-500. For 400-500, I will do it myself.

Yeah, $85 is pretty low. I mean, I'm all about getting a good deal, but eventually you fall into the category of "you get what you pay for." You should just do it yourself, F Sport has very thorough instructions.

As long as you dont go to a Lexus dealer. They told me it was 7-8 hrs work and would cost me 1,000-1,200. OUCH!

That will be $185 with the necessary alignment, still cheaper than the going rate of $300 in the high-cost areas in California.
