    We were also quoted a similar price for the Versa. Is it hard to install a coilover on a car? I saw James install my Tacoma coilovers, and didn't seem complicated at all.

    It's easy when they come assembled like that, hence the name quickstruts.

    If you're doing just the shocks then you need a spring compressor.

    Those are a lot of miles for a 3 year old truck. I have 52,960ish on my 2008. Only 5,000 of those are mine. Whoever owned it didn't like to drive!
