$360 just to put on the springs or? If so, go somewhere else because I know a reputable shop in So Cal that would do it for $80 lol.

"Sears trying to screw me"? Why all the drama?

It's not like the guys at Sears woke up that day and said to themselves, "let's see if we can screw over some kid with a Z today". They simply told you that they job is worth $360 to them. You need to decide if the job is worth $360 to you.

You have some other options.
1) Do it yourself.
2) Get other bids from other shops
3) Don't lower the Z.

....Sears isnt the place to get your springs installed. And anything they said you might need is bullshet.

But out of curiosity and humor, what did they say you needed?
