Default Reasonable cost For L-Tuned Suspension From Dealer?

Talked with parts guy at my local dealer and he said $580+tax for L-Tuned springs and shocks. He wasn't positive, but he thought labor would be about $550. Does that sound about right?

Somewhat high. I paid ~$500 for springs/shocks from Carson and $440 for install including 4 wheel alignment.

Right now carson has em for 538, but I wonder what the shipping is? My local dealer comes to 626 after tax.

I'll call service tomorrow and get exact digits on install, but your 440 sounds a lot better to me

i don't think shipping will be 100 bucks that much, but yes, definitely go check. at least you won't ahve to pay tax, that's a big plus. i don't know about install in NY though, it depends on supply and demand. you don't wanna know how much it cost here in cali

Default YOU GUYS ARE GETTING RIPPED ON INSTALL

YOU GUYS ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF ON THE INSTALL. MY LOCAL STORE QUOTED ME 100 ON THE INSTALL, AND TIRE KINGDOM SOLD ME A 5YR UNLIMITED ALIGNMENT POLICY FOR $79. TIRE KINGDOMS IN ORLANDO HAVE THE EXACT SAME ALIGNMENT MACHINE AS MY LOCAL DEALER.... TOTAL IS 179...

Playboyzgs, easy on the caps. What is your "local store." Being in FL and not at the dealer, I can see it being a lot cheaper.

I'd rather go to the dealer than a Joe Blow's Gas and Service station, b/c I know they'll stand by the work. Also, God forbid they scratch my car or something bad like that, they take care of it. The loaner car is nice also.

sld,

I notice you are in NY...who is your local dealer? Lexus of Manhattan offers CL members a discount on parts and service including L-Tuned. Check the vendor offer page here at CL for details.
