150-200 without alignment is a good price, but I would've just saved and get coils and do it myself...not that hard and saves labor work hahahaha....alignment? what alignment hahahaha

I did it myself. It's not that bad of an install. Dealing with a spring compressor when you don't have any airtools definitely sucks though.

Thanks for the recommendation blitz_714. I went to Dynamic Auto to have my F-Sport springs and rear sway bar installed with alignment and Son was able to do it all for $220. Son was a cool guy to talk to and was showing me the the install of the rear suspension. It's a great place and I'll be going back to do the alignment once the springs settle in.

Here's a couple pics I took with my phone:

Mine was $100 for install and $80 for alignment. Total $180 and the springs took almost 3 hrs to install.
