Default $350 to install tanabe nf 210

I know im kinda of new to the whole rims & suspension thing but does this sound right $350.00 just to install tanabe nf210 springs ?

What do you guys think ?

What kind of pricing did you guys get to install your springs ?

sounds right thats what I paid for my coilover installation and that is actually less involved. spring installation requires the strut to be broken down and new spring inserted, that price is a fair retail price

350 is a little high but its not unreasonable. is that just spring install or does that include alignment also?

So true... I'm worried when someone else touches my car.. Just do some research.. take some time to look at the design of the car, the way its set up and read up. Ask around for how people do suspension work.. Thats how i learned. Then once i did all that i took my time and did it right. Replacing is always easier then fixing.. and fixing in general is just replacing parts.. Good luck with it bro

I was quoted $600 + alignment costs today. They told me it would be an all day job. I just laughed and hung up.
