I thought it would around 100 dollars but I went a place that was estimating around 300-600? Nothing fancy, just some 350z H tein on my g35. What is the going rate?

 

$220 at ntb

 

wow, thats like double the price of my springs, lol.

 

best price i found here in TX was $200, so i went to another forum members house and we did it there..

 

Any place in NJ thats cheap for springs/struts?

 

Now I wonder if its the same cost to have tein basic installed.

 

should be. I think its more cost efficient for those that have struts/coilovers then those with springs.

 

thats expensive, i paid $280 for tein springs + tokico shocks installed.

 

That is why I'm saving money to get coilovers instead.

 

I had my Tanabe NF210 springs installed for only $60. If you are in the San Jose, CA. area. My350z member anotheraznguy does side jobs and charges very low rates.

 

I changed my shocks and springs this weekend in my garage with help from a frind. It's not complicated, but it does take some effort to get the front springs and shocks out, due to the other suspension parts in the way and the need for a spring compressor.

The rear springs and shocks are fairly easy and both sides can be done within an hour.

To me, it seems that installing coilovers would be even more labor intensive (and cost more) because you have to go through the process of setting the ride height. The springs for most coilovers are in the same locations as the stock springs and you still need to use a spring compressor.

 

Totally agree with you except for one point. You do not need a spring compressor with coilovers, not to mention you can't get a compressor to latch on with a 2.5 ID spring/dampner combo since spring to dampner clearances are totally insufficient.

 

IMO, that's a really good deal and a smart business move since you'd be more likely to see him when you want other stuff.
