Just got quoted $735 by a shop in Delaware lmao... He said his rates are $105/hr and it's a 7 hr job. I was referred to a shop in South Philly by a guy I sold coils to from a previous car. They did some work on my girl's car and didn't rake me over the coals, fingers crossed!!!

Welp... Just got off the phone with the shop in South Philly. According to his system, the Active Suspension on the F Sport makes this an 8 hour job. So his estimate was $640. Does the Active Suspension really have that much bearing on this job? It seems like shops are using it as an excuse to boost the price. At this point I may scrap the spring ideas and just sell them. But what sucks is I just ordered spacers in anticipation of the car being lowered

Any fellow CL members local to you that might be able to do the job? It's about 2-4 hours using floor jacks and jack stands.

Not really. The rear shocks don't even have to come off so those AS modules stay on. For the fronts, you just have to make sure you put them back on properly.

I was just quoted for $575.00 and $600.00 from another shop. I was told that it takes 3.0 hours for the front and 3.9 hours for the rear. I was thinking $250.00 tops but I guess I was wrong.
