$110 good price for spring/shock installation?

A local shop just quoted me $110 for installation of my Tokico HP shocks and springs, would you say this is a good price? Is this above, below or average for installation of shocks/springs?

That's pretty good.

what is the average cost for this type of installation at a normal mechanic shop?

I remember a year ago when I wanted to get my coilovers and shocks installed...i forget the shop but they told me $50 per corner. So instead I just asked around and found out my friend's dad could do it for free.

all i got to say is try to do it urself with the help of a friend......i did it on my car...it took 4 hours b/c it was my first time......but on my last hatch, an associate charged me $15 a corner

Make sure you have all the proper tools before doing this task...like SPRING COMPRESSOR.

Even with dozen of your friends :dogpile: to help you, there's no way in hell you can compress the spring for easy removal and installation.

I agree that $110 for all corners is a fair and reasonable price.

yeha i think itz autozone that rents them for free....but don't do like me...i got tired of using it by the 3rd spring and just let em' fly:D but that's bad so don't do it:mad:

Pep Boys rent them for free as well.

Do it yourself! It's easy and worth the money you save.. if you get the pillow ball mounts (err whatever), that'll make it a 30 minute job. I've lowered 3 or 4 cars, just did my friend's SI last week. I'll do it for some beer if you're a good enuff friend :D
