Why don't you just get it done by a shop. Or even a wild idea...try and tackle the job yourself. Its not that hard, and you can rent the tools at your local autostore.

I agree, try it yourself. Might be fun, and you will learn more about your car that way.

^All you'll really need for the job is a set of spring compressors (you can rent it at autozone... you pay a $40 deposit, and you have 3 months to return it, and when you do, they give you your $40 back), a good socket wrench (probably like a 1/2" drive or larger) and good variety of socket sizes, a breaker bar, and a knife to cut the bump stops.

Actually looking into installing some TRD springs myself. My only drawbacks are the hills in my area and if I am actually competent enough to install them. It would be nice to get some rims and tires too but I got to make a cutoff somewhere. Tax money has its limits.:)

^Yes, you will need an alignment for sure. After I installed mine, my alignment was so all over the place, you wouldn't believe. :lol:

How long did you drive before you got an alignment?

^I finished lowering the car at around 6pm. Drove home from my friend's place where I was working on it. The next morning, I took it for an alignment.

Depending on how low, or how much your alignment is off, you might want to look into camber bolts.
