Spring install cost

beerme986 · 08-25-2009, 09:43 AM

Hey guys, I located in Philly, PA and I want to get the eibach pro kit installed. I called a few well known performance shops and some want $350 for just the install and other wants $500 for install and alignment. Another place wants $175 per side to lower. I have no idea what is a fare price and these prices are WITHOUT springs, just install. They all said if I get camber get it will be like an hour more worth of labor to install them.

Making me think twice about lowering because with springs + install + alignment im looking at atleast $650. Any thoughts on these prices? Any recommendations on a shop in or near philly?

springs only to install should be no more than 200.

beerme986 · 08-25-2009, 09:53 AM

Do you think I can go to any garage and get this done? Or should I look for strictly performance shops?

any reputable mechanic should be able to do it. If you have a shop that does aftermarket installs, that would make me feel better, assuming the price is the same. I'm not talking about big custom shops or anything like nolimitmotorsports for a simple install like that. Just google your state and check out some small performance shops. There has to be a bunch

Thanks triple_x for your help. I called RT tuning and they wanted around $500 for install and alignment. I know their very reputable for Infiniti's but I guess you have to pay for their reputation. I will call around to some small shops though

yeah you shouldn't pay more than $200. i had a shop quote me $320, then i called another one and they said $175. i'm going to end up doing them myself this weekend. they should be here on Friday.

np man. Just call around until you find 200 or better. Anything more they are trying to gouge you

I paid $180 for the install (2 hrs of labor @ $90/hr) and then $55 for the allignment...if a shop wants $3-400 then you are getting ripped off BIG TIME. ^+1 just keep calling around. GL

beerme here u from. I just did my springs in a few hours. Im in South jersey.

Im located in Philly but I do frequent south jersey (cherry hill area). I think my friend's dad who is a mechanic might do mine now. If he doesnt I'll let you know and see what we can work out.

Those prices are RIDICULOUS. Like everyone else said. No more than 200 for the total cost on installation. Alignment is about 80 here in So Cal.
