Does LOWER SPRINGS cost $350 to install???

wtf, i called up the local motorsports shop and they would charge me over $350 to install some H&Rs and ingalls front/rear camber, that i'm gettin together for $290. 350 seems a bit high for a spring install and alignment cost. correct me if i'm wrong... if thats the case...how much SHOULD a typical install job be? thanks.

$350, they could suck my dick...
spring install is normally around $80-$120. i got mine done for $70. some even charge $50.
camber kit i heard they charge $100 as well but just DIY it's really easy..
alignment is like what $60 the most

There was only one shop around here that would put my springs on. They charged me 375 to put the springs on and then align it. I guess shops can charge whatever they want when they don't have any competition.

I would pay no more than 120 for everything installed should be 2 hours of labor at the most. It took 1 hour for me to do mine!

either DIY(not too hard) or go to a shop. well known import shops only charge you maybe 70$ for install or less!!

most shop charges $90, takes them like 30 mins. as for allignments, average starts at $75, plus wutever u need to add, camber kits, new bushings, etc. dont forget shocks, i do allignments, and people expect perfect ride with no harms to their stock shocks, hehe, i jus tell them, do it now, or pay much more later, as in tire cost becuase of worn shocks(leads to wheel tramps), bottoming out(leads to accidents), rapid wearing of bushings(hella labor cost!),etc. so if your gonna do sumthin, do it right!!!
