Default RSR Spring Installation costs

I want to lower my RC 350 RWD F Sport as most of us do. I will be ordering my set of RSR lowering Springs soon.
My question to those who have installed these springs,
1) who has done your installation? dealer or local shop?
2) How much did the installation cost including the wheel alignment?
3) Has anyone asked Lexus, does this in any way void any warranties?

Thanks for information...

I did mine myself in about 3 hours. If you are mechanically inclined it is not hard at all. I used these two links https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...intensive.html

I called Lexus and was quoted $128 to do an aglinment. As far as warranty I would think the only thing they wouldn't cover is the struts/shocks if those wore out early because of lowering it. Nothing else could be affected and they would have to prove it was because of the springs.

Prices range for installation. I would expect to pay between $200-$400 for installation not including alignment. If you feel confident you can DIY...just be careful.

Lexus will also refuse to replace control arms if ball joints go bad. Both of my front upper control arms on my GS need to be replaced. Lexus refused to do it under the warranty, because I have modified my suspension and put 20 inch wheels.
