damn 4-5 hours?? it shouldn't take more then an hour or 2 hours max to do all four sides unless they've never done any suspension work before...

 

That's a good deal at firestone.

 

yep go twice and you've already covered your costs. Just make sure the shop has a long enough ramp so your lip doesn't get ripped off.

 

Don't they have to take off and apart the struts? Isn't that the time consuming part?

 

Where are you guys getting alignments for $50-$80 in So Cal?

 

Not at all. With a spring compressor you should be able to swap each one within 5-10min. And reinstall it in about 10-15min. So 20-30min/side

Limited motorsports said 3.5 hrs to do it, but they finished in about 3 hrs.

 

I'm in Southern California and interested in getting the F sports put in - so you mind sharing the name of your highly recommended SoCal joint please? Do they do alignment as well? Thanks

 

Don't people usually go to Tommy @ musicbox for their installations down in socal?

 

yes tommy at music box in el monte.

Thanks, Gents. I Just got off the phone with Tommy. He thanks all of you for the referral by the way. $150 for the install vs. 481 at Lexus.....Heck yeah!!!

 

i just got mine F sport springs installed today at dynamic auto in , midway city, oc, took about 2.5 hrs, no need to alignment yet, but come back couple weeks after the springs settle down to check, total 250$, included alignments too..... sweet now waiting for forgestar F 14 , 19" rims lolz

 

I think they're quoting off of the official book time or something. Everyone here tells me the book says it's a 4 hour job and it's ~$80 an hour.

 

I paid $16. I'm in the military and I took it to the auto hobby shop on base. They have all the tools you need and the lifts are $4.00 an hour. One of my CL buddies told me the Lexus in El Paso wanted $500 to install so I told him we could do it next weekend on base. I'm only going to charge him $499. JK Maybe he can buy me lunch or something like that. I take my car there when I need to work on it. It's much better than paying someone else or trying to use jacks in the garage.

 

$300 with alignment in high cost areas of CA, but primary concern is getting it done right.
