anyone get their springs professionally installed for under $80?
is this as low as it gets? I can't find anywhere that will do it for less =( and i think its just a bit pricy

I'm looking to install H&R Sports on my 97 3.0 CL

thanX!

 

$80 for spring installation is a damn good price.

 

ARe you on crack? To remove your factory spring/shocks, compress the factory springs, remove them, compress the new springs, install them, and remount all four?!?!?

Thats a 2 hour job for someone who is damn good. You should be expecting to pay 150-200 at least. Pay the 80 and run.

 

rofL alrighty =) 80 it is!
tomm ill get em installed whooooo lowered car from next week on =D

 

::quote:: Pay the 80 and run.::quote:: is is so right

 

shit my dealer wants 440 dollars

 

This is why I did it myself! Didn't take long at all...

 

That's a good price... the minimum I would charge is probably $100!

 

Is there anything special that needs to be done for a spring install to be done by a dealer or some other place vs. doing it yourself?

 

My dealer wanted $500

 

You need a spring compressor. I'll do it for $100 and guarantee no squeeks, creaks, or rattles.

4pumpedCL...will consider that if I get my springs. Don't think it should be that hard to do the install, huh? I don't want to pay what these dealers want if it can be done cheaper!

 

Me and Austin519 did the spring install in 4 1/2 hours... w/ no power tools.. USE power tools!

 

The hardest part of lowering a CL is pulling the back seat out.

 

which takes all of 10-15 minutes

 

You can rent a spring compressor for free at any autozone, my price, $0 and 2 hours.

 

Make sure that the person that quoted you the $80 wasn't talking per spring...$320 (total) makes a lot more sense.

I got the springs and sways done at the same time for $400 in labor.

 

why do you need to pull the back seats out to do the spring installation?

 

it makes it easier to reach the location where the top of the strut locks into the frame of the car. The rear seats' headrest seems to bulge up and makes it difficult to loosen.

 

i already got it done, and yes it was $80 total cuz i got hooked up at GT Group =) thx scottie and andy for recommending dem!

oh and i saw dis really nice 2nd gen CL there, i think it was KraZi's

here's some pics of mine after drop
