Default Nismo Shock&Spring Kit-Installation Cost?

I was quoted a price of $600.00 for this and does not include alignment, is this a fair price?

I only paid $300 but I bought the kit from the same dealership so they worked me a deal...

I would find a performance shop they should install it for a lot less... For example on my G35 Sedan I had them install Nismo Suspension Kit and Nismo Sway bars and they ony charged me $275 + $75 for an alignment

do it yourself...
takes like 5 hours at most with 2 floor jacks and basic tools
the rear is easy
it comes out right away... you need to work to get the front out if you are doing it for the first time with no experience...

+1 Impact wrench deffinitely helps, though, and speeds things up a bit.

Depends on how much you value that suspenison's ability to not effect the warranty on the suspension. Nissan does say that in order for the car's warranty to stay in force you do have to have it installed by a authorized Nissan dealer. I'd cut and paste the document, but I'm too lazy to find it.

The NISMO S-Tune Suspension is Not adjustable in any way... There is no corner balancing to be done...
