H&R Springs and spacers install price

A local shop quoted 475 to install my H&R springs and spacers is this a good deal? That's with alignment. Thanks in advance Matthew

I'm getting charged 100 bucks. Wish u lived close so u get the same deal. A friend with a shop was charging me 200 we still far apart. I'd ask around unless he has a very good rep. But still............. My quote is without alignment. I'm shure an alignment is not 375 though

Not bad with alignment. It's a pretty easy install and probably worth trying on your own though.

Cool

Most shops will charge a fix rate of $250 for springs and $99 to $140 per hour for other labor extensive work. For that price, I had springs, spacers, rear toe kit and alignment done.

Be careful if you are DIY, you need a good spring compressor or a shop to take the front springs off. And pulling the new studs through is tough

I am so busy with work I wish I could. I have a pile of stuff waiting to get installed just no time to do it myself.
