This seems very high. Would appreciate your feedback on whether this is reasonable or not.
Not terribly far off given most dealer's labor rates. It's not generally a good deal to get work done at the dealer.

Springs and sways are a pretty easy install if you've got a toolkit. Any reason you can't tackle the project on a Saturday?

The guys at the body shop here charge $90.00 per hour. They estimated my Springs and Coilover upgrades at 4 hours with a maximum of $75.00 additional for misc. parts/connectors or whatever may be necessary.

IMO (for what its worth) ask around town for the most reputable tuner/body shop nearby, and let them do the work. Dealerships normally pride themselves on selection and sales, not extra work.
