Angry Too much money?

I asked my local shop how much it would cost to put my stock springs and camber kit back in, and they said 200 dollars. Is it too much?

depends on their shop time... lets say at $60/ hr...

3 hours of work... about $180?

not sure if all that work is about 3 hours. but.. might want to shop around for prices.

post this in your regional section and they might be able to help you out. $200 sounds about how much other places would charge BUT its expensive IMO.
they usually charge $100 for each. $100 for springs isnt too badd, most places around here charge 80-120. i've seen it as cheap as 50 tho(yes they do a good job). camber kit, places charge 100 too but honestly the install is really easy. Its just 1 bolt up front, 3 bolts in the rear. i'm actually doing mine tomorrow or saturday.

its not super easy but its not impossible either. As long as you know what your doing you should be fine. Like i said just get one of the locals to help you out.
Camber kit i would definitely do by myself tho
