Default Cost of spring install

What are you guys paying for springs+install? I was quoted at $220 for Eibach +$250 install from Intense Motorsports. Seems a little steep.

Took me 4 1/2 hours to to springs & sways in the front and back on the weekend and I've never done suspension work before, so I would think a shop should only be charging you a couple hours labour.

$250 is expensive for install of lowering springs.

should be somewhere around $100.

Just an offer, but if you want to drive down to Tucson sometime I will help you do it for free. If you pay a shop I would try to negotiate for 2 hours of labor.

i paid $150 to "Dale's Performance Engineering" here in Harrisonburg. He had four guys do it at once so they finished in about an hour. The fact that there was rusty tractors and all sorts of farm animals running around the place made me a little skeptical but he definitely knew what he was doing.

I think you should expect around $200 at well known shops.
