Does that sound like a lot just to have Hotchkis springs installed, labor only?

This doesn't include an alignment.

If somebody knows where the DIY for spring installation is hiding, that might be helpfull too, though I probably wouldn't have the ball$ to do it myself anyway..

thanks

 

i wouldnt pay more then $200 for spring install. from what ive heard the rears are a breeze but the fronts are pain in the ***.

 

275 ? jesus and i thought i got ripped off. I paid 100 dollars.

 

where in CA are you?

Did you take them to a shop or backyard mechanic type?

 

who quoted you $275?

 

A small shop privately owned here in Sonoma County that specializes in Nissan and Infinity vehicles.

That was the lowest so far. One guy quoted me $470 just for the install. I reframed from laughing and just hung up on him after saying, thanks, bye.

 

yeah i think 275 is quite high for just springs. if you wanna drive down to sf or sj and i'm sure you can get a better install price.

 

i paid 330 for sway bar, springs, shocks, and camber arm install, that was labor and a alignment. but im on the east coast, im sure its more $$ over there.

 

Ok I found somebody now.

Found a place that will do the install and alignment for $250.

I can live with that. That is actually a little less than I initialy figured. Originally I estimated about 250-$300 for install and alignment.

 

Def sounds high. $250 for all that still seems a bit high, but not ridiculously at all...

 

i got mine done for 100....thanks Llare...

 

i got mine done for $200

 

$90 bucks here.

 

Install + alignment isn't TOO bad at $250, but see if you can't get it knocked down to $200. Alignment shouldn't be more than $80, which means $120 for install which is about right (1.5 hours @ $80/hr).

I got springs, sways, wheel mount/balance, and cutting fenders done at F1Motorsports in North Hollywood all for $600 *including* the price of the sways and springs. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

 

You can get springs installed for around $80-100.

 

$250 is ok, even better if you can bargain down to $200. If you go to SF or SJ, it might be cheaper but gas money add up will be the same or a bit more.

 

And I though our $175 was on the higher end of things

 

I wouldn't pay more than $50-75 for the install ... these cars are SO easy ... the back takes a total of 6 minutes, and that includes removing/replacing the rear wheels.

 

100 would be a good price. 200 for a reputable tuner shop. 275 and up for them to laugh behind your back and include self serve Yuban coffee costing more than Starbucks.

 

Check motorsport techniques in hayward they will do a good job for a good price.
