$700 to install springs??!! WTF?

mPlasticDesign · 05-05-2009, 10:56 PM

I think Dinan's 8.9hrs suggested install time on their website is totally to blame. Some are just jumping on that bandwagon as a result. Totally ridiculous!

That $350 is just for labor and alignment correct? Parts are not included?

Thank you,

We install springs here at the shop, just have to call in and make an appointment.

rominl · 06-11-2009, 06:27 PM

i got mine installed for 150 no questions asked. and putting on spacers, i don't see how that would be "extra"...

Edge Motorworks quoted me $883.57 for spring installation and alignment check. (5 hours job for spring installation and 2.40 hours job for alignment check)

Go to SonicMS, $350 installation & alignment.

leeor · 06-12-2009, 12:05 PM
