Spring install
I have the pro kit and was wondering what the average price is to have a shop install springs. This is my first time having this swapped and I'm not sure what the going price on this is. I got a quote for 800-900$, but that seems like a lot to me. Am I right or wrong ?
 If it's over $200 I'm probably going to follow the tutorial with a buddy. |

$800-900 for a spring install? That's absolutely crazy. I've done spring installs on two cars so far, it's only taken me 2-3 hours, and I'm pretty inexperienced. A case of beer is the standard fare on a car forum. Or rent a spring compressor and do it yourself.

Thanks guys. I'll probably follow Darren's tutorial and rent the tools from AutoZone.
