Stop taking it to toyota take it to a small bodyshop or speedshop. 350 SUPER high for a spring install. Worse comes to worse you can do it yourself just takes time.

Still too much. Find someone that knows something about cars (a friend or something) that will do it on the side for you for cheaper.
Hell, some people will work for beer.

Any place and I mean any will do the install for around a $100-150. I know Toyota charges around $120 for the alignment also and that's way too much for just springs on your car. So figure install w/alignment from any other shop will cost around $200.

Don't just settle for a flat rate. If they say $200, ask them why it's $200. Spring install should be a 1 hour job at MOST for a good shop with a lift. You're paying $200 an hour for labor. Chew on that...
