Tein Install Price??

I stopped in a performance shop near my work and was quoted $900-shipped for Tein SS, and $1,100-installed. The cat said he would put my sways on, too, for the $1,100. That sound alright, or should I be able to do better? I kinda wanna do my sways before the winter, but I'd probably wait til spring to do the Teins. I've never seen any of this shop's work, so I can't say for certain if it's a good shop or not. A friend of mine put his Teins on his Supra TT himself...he has air tools and a spring compressor. So, I could get some help if $200 seems kinda high. Although, with sways included, $200 sounds a'ight to me.

Thanks for y'all's opinions.

not bad with installing the sways too.

it's pretty easy to do if you have the right tools (and help) though.

just go to your friend, honda suspension are very straight forward....


and 200$ for a shock/spring install is standard price they do it 50/ corner usually

but you and your friend can prolly do your whole car in about 2 hours if you dont mess around and 4 hrs if you dick around and have fun

Thanks for y'all's thoughts. I really want to get the Teins and the sways done now, but I can't really spend the dough on the coilovers, as I am approaching 90k miles, and I should be doing my timing belt and a few other things. Plus, I'm prolly gonna need tires before the winter is over.

Damn, I want to drop this piglet, but I guess I'll leave her a 4x4 for the winter.
