FYI: You SoCal guys are made . . . shop options on every street corner like 7-11! The shops here in Portland are a little suspect. My guys got all stumped trying to put in an Injen CAI cause they didn't cut the ECU tubing properly. Ugh.

Don't pay more than 100 dollars on a lowering spring installation. You can find a better price, just keep looking.

Evanj - I'm sure there is a shop in seattle that will help you out. My dad has a retirement spot up there in washington on the Hood Canal. I go up there every few months to hang out with him. Maybe the next time I fly into Seatac, we'll meet up or something and maybe install some springs!

I paid 600 for the install of my Shocks/Struts & Springs from the ToyoDealership... at one point, I didn't care the price, I just needed it done because anything was better than the current suspension problems I was having at the time as far is the NUT you are looking for - just order one from any Toyota parts department - it will cost you less than $2 and the parts dept will have it ready for you to pick-up in less than 5 days as far as F1 motorsports is concerned... they have been in business for at least the past 10 years - and usually only work on upper-class vehicles such as the BMW, LEXUS and MERCEDES. Didn't you feel a bit akward driving your $20,000 vehicle into the small parking lot where 90% of the cars sitting there were worth ATLEAST $60,000 and up? Im sorry for your problems there - but out of the many times I've been in, I have never had a single bad issue from them. Everything that I've got from F1 has been of the highest quality and has always performed to its fullest I'm sorry for your bad experience... but its the first one I've ever heard from F1 - just shrug it off, and drop $2 on a new bolt from the toyota service dept
