i have a pretty general question, im getting sum progress springs for my ES. and my bro in law hooks me up with putting stuff on my car. kus he works @ an auto shop (for 4 wheelers) but he still gives me the hook. i told him the other day that im getting sum springs to lower my car. and he told me it would cost like $300 to install the springs!!! i was like, sweet lord!! thats double what the springs actually cost!!! and thats $300 with the discount he gets off!!! i only paid $80 for him to weld my muffler on. dosent this seem kinda expensive to install springs??!?!?! what did yall pay to have your springs installed???

 

and YES, im well aware that it varies from state to state, shop to shop. but did yall pay this much for installing sum damn springs??

 

Springs and shocks

1st time: Free (+6 hrs and one friend helping)

2nd time: $250 rush job at a local tuner shop

I think an average shop would charge $200-$250. A "hook-up" should be able to do it $100-$200.

 

if you're in cali i'd say go to road race Gabe will put them in for 120, ($30 a spring), 30 is like what they charge for most installs

 

yah, thanks man! i stopped by a shop here in san antonio called top notch and they said theyd do it for $125. i dont know why my bro-in-laws place would be almost double!! but thanks guys.

 

$30 a corner is what I'd look for...

 

i say it should cost you around $125.00

 

did mine myself and it only took like 2-3 hours. its not very hard to do.

 

thanks guys......i knew that was a lil recockulous!!! ru4real what did you and your friends do wrong the first time to where you had to have a rush job?? kus i do have a friend that could do it for me....but i dunno, if you could make mistakes easliy ill be happy for fork over a bill!

 

o2izzel i have the same springs and i got them put on for free, because it was so easy, me and my dad used the article to follow us along, so it made it simple if we had the tools...and it took us 2 1/2 hours maybe a lil less!!

 

dont u need a spring compressor?

 

Do the springs yourself. Its pretty easy and straightforward. Rob gives good instructions and advice on how to do it. Spring compressors are needed unless you get progress springs. you can rent compressors from pepboys for free, and probably other parts stores.

 

u dont need spring compressors for the progressives....the eibachs u do...hey 02izzel if u want some help, just ask me...ill mostly b likly to b on aim...

 

yeah man u should look at the article on the spring install. its step by step so you shouldnt mess anything up. save the money for a short shifter or something.

 

wow, 300$, thats kind of high... my local shop said they would only charge me 150$ for spring install
