i received my Tein lowering spring today and i took to some shops and they said it gonna cost around $200 to install it... it is very expensive! even my springs only cost $140 shipped....
Why not do it yourself? It is easy.
That's because auto shops charge 90/hour for labor. Find a friend who's mechanically inclined... it's not a hard procedure if you have the tools.

I'm currently scanning photos from when I did it. They'll be on the site linked below in a couple hours.

Edit: Photos up now. Will caption them...

A friend of mine who does automotive stuff said any car locksmith will replace the tumbler and have it fit your key... for around 60 bucks.

I decided to say forget the lock and just install power locks with a keyfob. I have the alarm/fob system already, soon I'm going to install the power locks. Then I won't ever need to use the passenger side lock. So I filled it with epoxy so no screwdriver will ever sodomize it again.
