Spring install in Central NJ

I was wondering if anyone could provide some shop that can install lowering springs in a fair price in central NJ
And yes, I've already searched and a lot of old threads came up
Today I called and emailed bunch of places and i get quotes from 400 and all the way up to 700!?

The lowest i got was $285 w/o alignment, imo that's just nooo wayyy that i'm gonna pay that much just to install my springs.

Or someone could help me on installing on my own I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

285 with alignment is not that bad man. Lowest for springs should be 150, and that's only for good friends. Another 100~110 for alignment isn't out of the question.

If someone quoted me 285 I would of shot back 250 and you've got my business

Wow that is expensive. The guy that did my springs is out of business I think :/ I used to use tristatetuner.com forums to find guys that can do work on my car, but that site went down last time I checked...

Yeah, I think its actual tracking this time, not merely autocross. I am going to bringing my GF for the 1030 slot. Plus, Monticello is a nice track, I heard they limit memberships to individuals with 20m+ of net asset, I want to see this for myself lol.

yeah I looked up their site and its like 25k for sign up and 3k annualy for the basic membership

you have to figure most shops probably quote spring installs an hour a corner considering you have to completely disassemble the stock suspension. so take a shop rate of $60/hr x 4hrs = $240

i dont think $285 is unreasonable but this is certainly something you can do yourself or have other neloc members help you with.
