$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?

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.

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

Even with dozen of your friends 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.

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
