Installation prices. help

Juruki · 09-23-2010, 01:41 PM

So im pretty new to the car modding scene and im about to install coilovers (BC Racing BR) with a SPC camber kit. I got quoted $180 for the coilovers and $80 for the camber kit.
Do the prices sound right?

Sounds like a good price.

Not a bad price, just be sure someone with experience and knows what they are doing is doing your installs..... It seems like a very easy and fairly straight forward thing to install coilovers and camber arms, for the most part (IMO)... But you would be surprised how many people screw up this install. I mean someone can always just bolt the coilovers up and viola.. there you go.
To do it "right" IMO, the pre-load should always be checked and measured and then duplicated on the other side exactly, The ride height/ shock length needs to be perfectly evenly done and measured from side to side, the same goes for the rear spring perch adjusters, etc. There is a lot of steps that can be taken to ensure THE best results for a coilover installation... Not to even mention corner balancing.

Don't forget about the all important four wheel (laser) alignment after your suspension and ride height are all set, etc.
