Default Just bought Espelir springs...

Just curious how much everyone has paid for their parts and labor. I bought the springs and am having them installed for a total of $350. It sounded decent to me, but I'm just curious. I've read all the old threads, but if anyone has any other input I should know (good or bad) post them here. Thanks!

Question

Are you saying you paid $350 for springs and installation or just $350 for installation?

I think he's saying it will cost him $350 to get the springs installed.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. $350 for springs and installation. I'd shoot myself before I spent more than $150 in installation.

That's a good deal for springs and installation.

Good to know then. I hate the feeling of knowing you paid WAY too much for anything.

No, I'm friends with a local shop here in Orlando, so don't worry I didn't steal your ebay pair. Price was $250 for the springs and $100 for install. I think it still might be a little better than that $238 deal because shipping would still be quite a bit more. I have an appointment to have them put on next Wed, so pics will follow soon after.
