Proper price for spring install?

[nick_danger]

I don't have the tools, time, or space to do it myself, how much should a respectable shop charge to install a new set of Eibach Pro Kit springs on my stock R/T? I want to know just so I don't get screwed. It should only take about an hour, right?

3-4 hours for an experianced mechanic that has never worked on our rides before. And 2 hours tops for someone that has. It's not hard.

One our guys here recently had his KW's installed by a dumdskull.................10hrs. Idiot couldn't even locate the rear swaybar and then had the nerve to charge big for the install.

Nick !!!! Good to see you again.
Thought you got rid of your car?

Have Scott at SPA do the install. He'll cut you a fair deal.

it took me less than 3hrs to lower my magnum myself. its probaly the easiest lowering job ive ever done!

F1 is right scott did my SRT suspension (springs AND shocks) plus swaybar for less than $300.

springs only should be less.

I agree with the above. Scotty is installing my KW suspension tomorrow (along with other things). I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere.

I'd call ahead for an appointment if I were you though, to see how full he is. Between his normal business and how time consuming my installs are, he might be filling up a little bit this week.

KW's !!!! Banidt, I hate you.

I can't be a copy cat...so looks like I'll have to put on the Uninversal Air system I've been looking at.



But wait...I got so much going on...don't know if I'll have all my mods done in time for the meet. (ok...who am I?)

LMAO... poor pigpen!

I say go for the KW's man! I would LOVE to bag my car but I just wasn't sure it would work for me. If you do it and I get to ride in it, I may swap out from the KW's into air ride by summer's end.

I would have to agree....... ......Trying to figure out who was dumber, "our guy" or the installer . Let it go and go on, looks like Trojan got a taste of what I did. And the installers ask why we freely discuss these things, and their practices.....?

[nick_danger]

Yeah, I was going to stop by Scott's tomorrow and check it out, but I wanted to know what to expect going in. I really want KWs as well, but I'm trying not to sink too much more $$$ into this car... I might not even do this, but I figure it's worth it if it's cheap.

Dibs on the "yet to be installed, but may be swapped out at the end of summer KWs"

I want them as well but went with the SRT suspension last year. I am more than happy with it especially paired with the hothkis sway bar. Although I was initially disappointed with the seemingly lack of any drop in ride height. last week I put my summer wheels on...and the jack did not fit under the car, she finally settled in lower than she was last fall. Now its a real pain to change my wheels
