$500 that way over priced.

You should be able to get them installed for around under $400.

200 bucks should sound right....

500 bucks is crazy.... but you can rent yourself some springs compressors and always do it yourself....that's your best bet.! Good Luck!

wow, even your quote is over priced. It's just a simple springs install. You don't necesarily need a customized shop to do a simple install. You really should not pay more than $200 for springs installation. It should not take more than 2hrs to do the install, multiply that by their labor rate. If it takes them more than 2hrs, they're either ripping you off or don't know what they're doing.

And don't forget you can rent spring compressors for free at any auto stores. You just pay a deposit. When you return it, they give you the full amount back.

The $500 was a quote for coilovers to be installed. For a simple spring kit install it is 235 and only a couple hours of work.

Sorry about the confusion in the quote we misunderstood what exactly was needed. Hit us up and we will take care of you.

Happy Holidays Guys be safe!
