I'm a newb when it comes to car mods, so what's the typical price for an install?

I just got a quote for $139/hr for 5 hrs of work + alignment fees. So basically they wanted $800. If the going rate is that high I might just put these in the garage for a bit until I get rims and do everything at once.

Thanks dudes.

lol 800.
Someone is trying to rip you off good.
Install should be no more then $200
Alignment should be no more then $100

Way too much. It should not take 5 hours for a simple spring install.


Haha actually Stillen told me they charge roughly $300 for the install. I've done numerous coilover installs so I'm just going to tackle it myself.

Nah that ain't shady at all, not at allllll lol

I don't think they are shady. I think we might be talking about two different things here. Is it $800 total as in for the purchase of springs, install and alignment? If so, that price is realistic.

Sim

Just the install. They know I already got the springs. So install and alignment.

168 Motoring gave a great price and are highly recommended here, I'll be going with them.

Post pics when you finish your install tho!

That's where I'll be heading when I get my springs.

$800 bucks ! Damn I'm in the wrong business...

Sim

I have a strong feeling that they presumed I was a typical Orange County rich sucker. Money isnt an object sort of a thing. How else could they justify 5 hours of work? 168 Motoring told me 2 hrs tops.

I got my springs installed at 168 motoring. Took just over an hour and NOWHERE near 800 lol.

How much did you pay?

Sim

I'll be visiting Kevin tomorrow at 4. Glad to see so many people have used 168. And glad to know this isn't going to cost me $800 lol

cobbyy

Less then 1/4 of 800. Lol

Sim

Before and after. Kevin and Gilbert are great dudes. Thanks for the recs. I'll be going back to him soon for some AGs I saw and liked (basically like CVTs but I refuse to get Vossens lol)
