hey man -- you should be able to get a deal on that. shit, we have 2 acura dealers here, and I got the one to quote me $200 for a spring install. i think that is still too much, so I'm doing it myself next week. $750 is rediculous ... sways seem even easier to install than the springs, never done either one ...

Of course that included realignment too. Alignment around here for lowered cars cost about $89. I figured I would pay up to $100 more to have the dealer do it. That way I can take it back to them and they will deal with any of the problems it might have. They said they would warranty the install and alignment. Plus I got it done while it was in the shop. I was very impatient.

you need a good spring compressor, also before install, insure the bottom plate is lined up with the top plate or you won't be able to install the lower bolt if the top is in. Follow "Helms". The sways are easy, still can't figure out how to torque the end links with the allen key in there. Used highly calibrated wrist-elbow. Good luck

Installed Koni Yellow Adj.Eibach springs and
sways myself with a extra hand with rear shocks as difficult to hold in place while putting nuts on top of shock tower! Rear sways slightly difficult to take out,easy to
put back in. Front sways slightly difficult to take out and very difficult getting back in. Thought about lowering exhaust but finally was able to get in! I now have world
class handling, like it better than BMW and I've owned BMW. CL-S is best well rounded car that is plenty fast. I am designing CAI that hopefully will out perform AEM!

Actually, you're doing the dealer, or whoever is installing your, springs a favore when you buy struts too. This way they can set up the spring and strut combo before they take out your stock stuff. Since you are taking it to a dealer...about $200 sounds right...you can get it done cheaper, maybe $120...who really ever uses the warranty on aftermarket parts anyway!?!

If you think that's bad, how about this for a laugh/groan: when I bought the CL-S, my dealer wanted $999 for CT springs, install, alignment and Acura warranty coverage. I had no idea how out of line that was at the time. (No, they didn't get my business.)
Wayne/Park Ave Acura really should start marketing seminars on customer service to other dealerships to enlighten them on how things should be done. Everybody would be so much more satisfied...

When I had my CL-S, I got the springs installed for 120 and the sways installed for 40. I also then paid for alignment for 40. This was a local speed shop, and I wasnt "friends" with anyone to get that deal. I will be taking my s2k there soon for springs
