You're gonna laugh at this, but they charged $922 plus tax. It included UCAs, wheel spacers, and a wheel alignment.
Alberta dealer shop rates are excessive - upwards of $120/hr. So the deal I got actually surprised me. You guys in the US should get a much better deal than this.

I ordered a silver TE. It's a tough wait as only 2 TEs are coming in this month to BC.

Need some help with a decision guys. I have 17x8 wheels with 285/70/17 tires on right now, no lift. Pushed the fenders up front and removed the front flaps. Pretty good, but get some rubbing while turning under braking.
Was thinking about getting a pair of Bilsteins up front to level out. I was going to go with 1.75 setting, but started wondering if this would not level out since I have the third row seat option in my SR5. Does anyone have this setting at 1.75 with third row seats?
If I do the 0.85 setting, is this really enough to help out with the minor rubbing? Maybe it is because the shocks will stiffen up so I don't have as much brake dive.
Thanks for the help.

I don't think the 3rd row seats have any effect with the ride height. Did you notice any rubbing on the rocker panel? Turn in a circle at full lock and then check to see if your tire has made a rubbing mark on the rocker. I had to trim mine a little as well as pushing the front inner fender well up some. That's with a 3" lift too.

how did you only get "1.5" rear" with the ICON coils? they're supposed to be 2" and many have reported more like 2.5" :shrug:

Maybe he only did a spacer in the rear? But he did say the kit.
Ok, thanks. Just figured the 3rd row seats would add more weight in the back. So it may already be loaded, so the 1.75 setting up front would give me reverse rake rather than level. Not sure where exactly I'm rubbing. Haven't took the time to look yet. Just hear it every now and then.

right on. his sig line reads "Icon Stage 2 lift kit, 2.5'' front / 1.5'' rear"...
[MENTION=108096]Bad_Influence[/MENTION], please clarify...

sorry for the mistake in the signature. It is certainly just about a 3" in the front, and 2 in the rear.
I edited it. Thanks!

Can you fix the other two pics? Do you have just Bilsteins up front?
Is there any true negative affect to just getting the Bilsteins installed up front and leaving stocks in rear? Only reason for really getting them is to lift front to level (over doing spacer). Car is only 2k miles old so rear shocks are fine and I don't want to lift rear right now anyway.
I did bilsteins at a few hundred and don't regret it. The ride is great! And your prepped for a lift if you ever want it...just add springs. If you're taking the time or money to install the fronts you might as well do the rear too. The rear is easier anyways. Plus the valving will be similar in all four struts, that's always a good thing. I did .85 setting in front and it leveled out perfectly, especially with some gear in the back. I feel if I went to the next notch up and had gear in the back it would have been reverse raked.
Here's an no load in back pic...
