my dad was talking to a shop about doing my springs. he said he would put them in and realign the car for $125. do they need to be realigned? if they dont cant i just do them myself?
or u think for $125 i should just let him have at it. -------------------- |

I got my alignment/install for that much. I've heard that its highly reccomended. I don't know for sure either because I am running on my 15's.

I think you should install the springs yourself, and then get it aligned afterward for $60-80 at a good local shop that people trust and recommend.
 But then again, I don't trust anyone except me when it comes to working on my car, and I've had really bad experiences with Les Schwab screwing me over. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

definitely going to need an alignment. if you do it yourself, the fronts are a bitch but the rears are easy. i really cant wait to see your car lowered, its going to look sick.

125$ for install and alignment is a decent price. There is only toe adjustment in the front and toe/camber in the rear. These cars alignment doesnt change much with moderate drops. I ended up getting mine aligned after teins but it really didnt need it.
