| wow those springs really slammed that car. but where are the instructions on how to do it? doesnt really fit in the Tech DIY section if you don't show and tell how people can do it themselves.

| Yeah, not so much DIY but definitely got some good pics of the before and after. I don't know why Toyota makes all of their cars so high from the factory. Can't wait to see it after a month when it's fully settled. | |

| 20-25 minutes cause its that easy. just one bolt to loosen on the back to swap the springs. you could do the back in 5 minutes alone. just got to pull the struts out of the front, which can be a pain in the butt but can be done with relative ease. | |

hell i cheat on the front and just loosen the big nut up top I don't use spring compressors. you use another jack to raise the lower suspension arm which compresses the spring. EASY AS PIE | |
