spring installation

[timematrix]

My first post in this forum. Hello everybody!

I have a set of Eibach pro-kit springs to be installed on my sentra. I've got two quotes for installation. Both were for around $500 or more for the complete set of 4. Sound like reasonable rates? What should I expect to pay for the installation? Any good places in the ATL area to get this done?

That is really high. I work at a shop and we usually charge around $40 a corner. so $160 just for the install. you have the springs already right?
if it is a new sentra it took me 45 mins to do it. its not that hard if you have some basic tools and an impact. They are rippen you off, so try to find some where else to go.

Man I didn't know that's how they charged for installing springs. I figured it would be like installing or fixing any other thing, just one hour rate or something. I didn't know they seperated the four. Do the springs come with instructions?

i dont know if all of the shops do it like that but that is how we do it. Yea most springs will come with instructions but you have to know some things. just basic knowledge of how cars work and pay atention on how i came a part so you can put it togeather the same.

other than that its soo easy. once you do one you've done em all. they are all pretty much the same but each has a little difference to it.

yeah they're pretty easy

I had never done a spring install in my life and it took about an hour and a half with my dad's help. Wrenches too, no power tools.
