    $1200? That's a rip off! The shop I went to here in Nor-Cal charged me $200 for installation & alignment.

    Agreed. For a competent mechanic, this is a 2 ~3 hour job, so $200 ~$300 max.

    Like the drop, do you plan on adding wheels? Also how many miles were on your Struts when you added the springs?

    Not sure about new wheels yet don't think so though. And I just got my Prius it has about 2k miles maybe a little less.

    Thanks I'll post pics when I get it done. Maybe this weekend.

    thats common. sometimes things are leased as company cars and used rarely (once or twice a month). then when lease is up, sits in back of lot so they can try and sell the newer models first, then sold pretty cheap when actually desired or sought after by the dealer.

    @hani1400 did you pin-stripe the front and sides? if, so do you have better pics?

    Hey, car looks good. Can you post more picture please! Are the front tires sticking out with 15mm spacers?

    Hey guys,
    I'm in a 2010 Blizzard Pearl and just bought the Tanabe DF210 based on all the feedback of those who have used them. I've shopped around for an installer in NorCal but the lowest I've been quoted for install and alignment afterward is $500. Most is $831 so far. I'm leaning toward $500, since the springs were already $167 from eBay
