Many have. It's not that hard and there are good DIY's on the site.

Otherwise, figure 4-hours shop time, at ~$60 per hour.

do it yourself its not really that difficult. you will save yourself quite a bit of money too

I was quoted $120 for all four springs installed. Would you say thats a steal ( i told him that il take the back seats though, which is pretty easy coz ive done it before)?

Pretty easy to do. Cakewalk with airtools.

For Springs? Yes, that's a steal, since they have to remove the stock spring and replace 'em with the after-market.

Even for coil-overs, that's a very good price, IMHO.

be a man and DIY.

invite a friend that has installed suspension on any year model honda between 1985 and 2008 and you're good. the TL rides on standard issue honda wishbone/multi-link. the hardest part for me was re-installing the bolt holding the lower rear seat cushion...
