Lmao @ Wcn..
Just called the service dept. to get a quote for a spring install... The guy gave me a "rough" estimate of about $700 as it would be a 6 hr job, and he was sure to add that this is BEFORE the alignment...
I said, "WOW, that is REALLY rough!" and hung up..
The funny thing is, this is after i got a quote for $190 for the install from another shop and thought that was too much and decided to call WCN...
What the heck is happening with this place????

the manual that all the shops use states its a 6 hour job. My friend owns a body shop and we did my s2000 springs there once (for free). I called him to ask if we could do the same to the Z and he looked it up in the book and it stated 6 hours. He looked up the s2000 and it stated 2 hrs. Dont know why they say 6 hrs for the Z because it was basically the same exact thing.

There is a good "Do it Yourself" guide on here. Did mine myself and saved.
First rear side took an hour, the second took 20 minutes.
First front side took 2 1/2 hours, second side took 40 minutes.
On topic, WCN quoted me 400 when I asked a month ago

Spring compresors are usually a free rental at most auto shops, like kragen and auto zone ect. and it's a real easy thing to do. but I'f you dont want to hassle with the compresors, (which you only need in the front) you can take the whole spring/shock assembly off and take them to a mechanic, and have him swap out the springs, it takes no time. and just do a simple install.

all dealerships base labor rates off of what the warranty book pays.
6 hrs should also include an alignment though, but this is common with all dealerships including us at Riverside Infiniti. Some things are not worth getting done at a dealership, even though you get the certified and trained techs. Other things are really ideal.
