Price for coilover installation?
How much are you guys paying for coilover installation? i spent the better part of the morning trying to find places, and the cheapest i found so far is 300$ 
took me like 3 hrs the first time..it was actually easier than i thought. like STODDA said..all you need are your basic hand tools.

Yeah but if you get SSP's (Like me)
You're gonna want the job done right, as in wiring through the wiring harness and through the firewall, and believe me man, that's more than "200-300" dollars. I had to pay 1000 from the Acura Dealership (ACE Dealership too!!!) and it was well worth it.
Non-electrical coilovers are straightforward and you can save yourself a buck.

you dont necessarily need spring compressors. when i did mine, i just took the whole assembly out and when i got the coils in i went down the block to a shop and slid the guy $15 to take the top hats off
any shell or chevron with a garage should have the air tools to do it. they didnt even use a spring compressor when they did it either, just air tools and about 15 seconds lol

Were talking about putting in coils right? NON electrical coilovers? $1k ? Sorry, I am interested in putting in coils or coilovers. Do you need coil compressors? I did a lift kit on a front end of a 2004 TRD Tundra 4x4 4 door limited and it WAS a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!!!!!
