Hey first off i wanted to say i did a search but couldnt find specific enough information, also im in iraq and the internet is slow so bear wit me. For anybody in the millitary im in Ramadi at JSS Trotter IP Station. Anyway with that out the way im trying to plan what i want to do to my celica when i finally get to the states again. I want to know whats a reasonable price to install TEIN SSP Coilovers w/EDFC, hotchkis sway bars(front + rear) Thats just the first part but i wanted to know the price i should expect to pay to install. And yes i prolly could do it myself but i dont have the time when i go home to do such a project and i kinda wanna enjoy my car while im home. Also i see alot of people have problems with their endlinks and i wanted to know if it was worth it to buy those powergrid endlinks, or should i wait for the stock links to go bad first.

people will rip you off
it's actually quite easy to install springs/coilovers/etc.
i can do it all by myself in 2 hours or less and in an hour with help
as far as edfc
i dont have any experience with those :p:
but places around me charge anywhere from $150 - $300 for install
and others will charge anywhere from $75-$125 per hour
and trust me, if its hourly, they will drag it on
if i were you i'd research it more
it really isnt that hard

i mean maybe its stupid but i dont rlly mind spending 300-500 for a nice install, i paid top dollar for my sound system and dont regret it at all, took 2 days and the work was beyond what i thought they would do. I dont mind paying the money for that professional touch u know what i mean? ANd i def never done any suspension work, and EDFC sounds complicated i dunno.

If you don't mind shelling out the cash then go for the professional install. Just make sure you can find a reputable shop in the area that will stand behind it's work so you don't get screwed. Most shops get nervous installing parts they have not seen before like the EDFC.
