I got the springs online for $150 ($180 with shipping). I installed them myself in the driveway, so the only other cost was an alignment ($70), although it turned out I could have skipped that because the suspension was still within spec.

When I bought the car, the dealership quoted $987 to install TRD lowering springs, rolled into the price of the car. They retail for $300-something, so $600 for labor and overhead. The book on spring install is around 4 hours, I believe, so you'd be looking at a couple hundred at least to get it done somewhere.
