    About $1100 CDN... but it's because we had to replace alot of other parts also, like the strut mounts, and other misc. parts all around... about 425$ CDN for the Tokico HP struts and 270$ CDN for the Tein H-Tech springs...

    175 shipped for TRD Springs
    free labor to put it in
    45 to align from a local shop.... the fuckers did not know what they were doing
    65 to the dealer to fix the alignment.... the cocksuckers never heard of camber bolts so it was not completely aligned
    180 to a wheel alignment specialist, price comes with the camber bolt I needed and alignments..... finally somebody know what they hell they are doing
    getting ready to spend 250 for some kyb struts
    hopefully another free labor
    another 65-80 bucks to re-align from the alignment specialist
    the aggravasion and frustration I had to go through just for the springs.... priceless
    good thing I had master card for everything else.
