Default labor charge on installing l-tuned springs

what is reasonable labor charge from a dealer for installing l-tuned springs? I am getting quotes that are too high I think. Also with l-tuned springs and shocks together, would it be cheaper to install it together rather then different times? Also I am getting quotes from dealer about shock price is pretty expensive.
thanks for help.

K,

dealer install: ~$350-450+align cost

outside: ~$125-175+align

shocks: sorry i am still thinking about what to do with my shocks...


you could try supratrd(steve ganz) or lexus-parts.com and see who has them in stock

btw, install them at the same time to save $$$

yeah, definitely install together. i mean if you will be doing both eventually anyway, you'll save a bunch-o-money.

We can try to work something out. You gonna be in the ATL area anytime? If not, I'm working on a DIY I could get you.

holy ***** thats expansive man.
I found a place here locally that will install for me both springs and shocks for $300. but lets see what dealer will charge me.
I haven't got the shocks yet but will see later this week.
last weekend I had my trd rotors and pads installed. What a difference! I love the brakes now. Its so confident about stopping without a noise. but I heard someone here review about trd pads being bad so I guess I have to see. and maybe change the pads next time. Just can't wait about getting springs and shocks.
