Default Raleigh-Durham, NC Area Spring Install... HELP PLEASE?

I was wondering who people used to install their springs here in Raleigh? I have got 2 different quotes on installation, both around $350. Based on information I have found here, that seems very steep. Any help would be well received!

Thanks!

IDK i just did mine myself, It really isnt all that hard to do once you get into it. But that does sound like a very expensive quote!!!

No, not at first, just want to start with the springs & see if I can keep them within spec... I may do the rears if neccesary, but aren't those relatively easy to install?
