I was quoted $600 to install bc coilovers and $150 alignment. To me that seems high! Im a firm believer in u get what you pay for but wow. Might try to do it myself. Do the bolts need to be torqued to a certain spec?

$600 is really expensive considering that its just BC collovers which don't need adjustment of the top hat like the KW V3's.

$600 is way too expensive. In Southern California, shops charge about $150ish for the install. Alignment here is cheaper than $150 also.

$300 is what I paid for my installation. Paying double would be unacceptable..

i was about to say...$75 per corner is about right. $600 is steep but then again when you roll up in an ISF they dont exactly start handing out discounts LOL

keep in mind stuff in socal is much cheaper than anywhere else when it comes to this type of work

as others have said, 300 should be about right for the install.

actually i dont think a shop is doing that for $150. Maybe a back-yard-Charlie but not a reputable shop. Maybe someones "homey" who has a shop can do it that cheap but if you don't have the hookup, i doubt it. When did So-Cal become cheap? I live in California and i know for a fact everything is more expensive down there then up here (north).......if you use a REAL shop anyway.

Tommy at Musicbox does it for $150 and I think everyone in socal can say he's pretty legit

The company quoted me 3 hours for the front and 3 for the rear at 95 bucks an hour. Maybe that's why they ask what type of car you drive... lol... Apparently in my experience there must be.some type of data base that these mechanics reference. Im no master mechanic but I just don't see it taking 6 hours especially with a lift. If they were doing it in my drive way absolutely. The bc coilovers are a direct bolt on. I could see the kwv3 taking that long do to the extra steps... company is north of philly... R/T tuning.. 750 bucks out the door. They roll fenders to.
