typical price of spring install

MMMazing07 · 04-07-2009, 06:23 PM

just shopping around now. one guy told me $400

just wondering what is the typical price everyone else is getting

Manny212 · 04-07-2009, 06:25 PM

i'd say between 300-400. Install does take a few hours. I doubt you will find anything cheaper than 300 and if you do it's probably not legit unless you know the person.

I paid $400.00 with the wheel alignment plus a free adjustment when my rims go on. Not a bad deal considering on my g35 I paid like $150.00 for the spring install plus maybe $75.00 for an alignment. Your going to have to pay some type of premium for driving a car that has a m badge on it.

MMMazing07 · 04-07-2009, 06:39 PM

jeez. i guess i underestimated the amount of work.

Andy@SonicMS · 04-07-2009, 06:39 PM

We book it at about 2.5 hours of labor at a rate of $105. Comes out to $263. Alignment is an additional $80 with any suspension work done here.

ebohon · 04-16-2009, 07:25 PM

$150 plus $80 alignment.

The exact quote I got for my car

cupspeed · 04-23-2009, 03:43 AM

$250 for springs, $300 for coilovers

Go to Auto Talent, their work is extremely professional. Highly recommended in the Los Angeles area

MrHarris · 04-23-2009, 05:21 AM

I paid $200 at SP Engineering. $90 for alignment at West End.

This attitude is the reason why we get over charged for things that shouldn't be so. Do not pay over $250 max.

Labrada_Exoticz · 04-23-2009, 05:22 PM

I paid $150 to install mine

graves4r6 · 04-23-2009, 05:47 PM

I did it by myself.
Very easy... just follow DIY.

McLuVan · 04-26-2009, 03:49 AM

$125-$150 + alignment

I paid $200 for the spring install with a vendor on here. For my alignment, I called the local BMW dealer to and was told they would do it for $489

Needless to say, I will be taking it to West End instead.

M3_LIN · 04-26-2009, 12:02 PM

I think VIPstatus in torrance does it for 200ish. Dont quote me on that. but it should be somewhere close to that.

I think they said it was 500 for H&R springs + labor and i believe 625 for RD sport springs + labor.

Im just deciding on whether to go with H&R or RD sport at this rate. Cant decide.

Well if you get Dinans the dealer will charge you 8.9 labor hours!

R2M3 · 05-01-2009, 03:43 PM

I have quotes from two shops here in the Philly area. Please sit down before you read further! $1150.00 including alignment

$850.00 including alignment

Do these shops think because we drive M's that were stupid enough to be robbed!?

does this install comes with a private room and a stripper while you wait?

askiles · 05-01-2009, 04:20 PM

Vivid Racing quoted me $450 which included alignment. I ended up doing it myself, even though that is a great price.

graves4r6 · 05-01-2009, 05:51 PM

I dont think it is hard to work on our car's suspension. IMO

askiles · 05-01-2009, 06:47 PM

It is very simple.
