My advice to you would be to purchase the springs from anyone but the dealer and then have them install it. Dealers have inflated prices on both their parts and labor. I figure, you could get a set of TRD springs on ebay, for example, for a couple hundred. Then I would have the dealership install them. When the dealership installs them, the warranty isn't voided and the springs will be covered with your existing warranty.

Don't even think about buying them from your dealer. At my dealer (also in Canada), they wanted 475 for the springs and another 450 for installation, which is complete bull as many of you know. Hit up this site:

http://www.toyotaparts4u.com/

200$ for the springs, 20$ to ship. Shop around for installation prices. Your warranty isn't voided if the springs are installed by ANY Toyota dealer, it doesn't have to be the one you bought your car from. I'm planning to buy the springs from this site in the very near future and hopefully have them installed on my car for ~350 CDN. Good luck.
