Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Quick Spring Question

How much do regular shops charge to get lowering springs installed. Im about to order the Ebiach Porline (1.1 drop) and I need to know. I heard some people say you can install them yourself except the back ones were kinda tuff. Then i heard some people say you need a shop cause you need a spring compressor. So whats the deal? O and is 195 for spings a good deal?

--side note where can i find some clear coners for a good deal (no ebay)

you do need a spring compressor... you can rent it at pep boys for like 5 bucks or buy one for like 15...

do it yourself if you're mechanically inclined or have worked on suspension before...

its pretty easy, you just have to do it 4 times and thats what takes the time...

after the drop, you will need an alignment though.

o thats cool thanks, my farther knows about cars. We never done suspension work but i guess it wont be that hard. thanks

Yes it is very easy to do. But be sure to do it safely with jack stands under the car.

You will need a spring compressor! Let your springs settle for like 2 weeks before the alignment though. Use jack stands on the car and be very carful with the sring compressor!
