wow 540$ to install sway bars and springs!

This dealer, peter honda, Nahsua, NH, has to be kidding he is asking $540 for the installation of $600 of comptech steel on my Type-S!

He should be nuts to think he can charge that amount of $$$.

What do you think? what is lowest you paid for installation?

Thanks.

For both sways and springs and an alignment, it cost me $370 at the dealership.
Got a wash also.

Another local shop serving Aucra/Honda only quoted me $1000 for comptech springs and sways installed!. Installation only is at $300. That is much better deal.

I do not know whether alignment is included, thou.

Talk to my service manager on Tuesday, when I got my oil change.

Here are the quotes I got:

Springs - $654.25 for labor and alignment
Headers - 312.75 for labor

What a damn joke. If anybody knows of a good shop in the Dallas are please let me know, b/c otherwise I am just never going to get either of these. I am not paying those prices.

Getting mine done next Wednesday... I'll let you know. I'm paying $45/hr for how ever long it takes them. My mechanic is an honest guy who knows me, so I'm sure he'll do a good job. I don't mind if he takes some extra time and does it right. I still think I'll get it all done for under $400.

yup...the service guy at my dealer is a fucking dickface...he told me that they need 7 hours (maybe more ) to install the springs..and then the labor is 77 cdn per hour..tax not include~~,,damn it..even my gradpa can install it faster then that...

i told the service guy that some of the cl-s owners got their springs installed around 3 hours in the State ..and he said "sure..so you can get it done there too"...what a shit fucker...

Betcha can't beat the deal I got on spring installation. It was free.99 out the door. . Honestly though, why do you need to get the springs and sways done at the dealer. They will always charge you way too much. Any reputable performance shop will be able to install the springs and sways for you. 7 hours to install springs is ridiculous, my buddy did it for me in under 2 hours, and that was the first cl-s he'd ever done.

I just got my springs today, NTB on 35 in Lewisville quoted me $ 100 (25 per spring) for install + 59 for an alignment. I will try to get them to install on Sat. 1-6-00.

"DON"T GO HERE, THEY WOULD'NT DO IT" changed their mind. ??? I thought it was to good to be true.

Oh! Yes, the nice Parts Manager of Sunnyside Acura, Mr. Suasa, quoted me a fukin $560 for installation. He said" what do u think we are here to make money" I guess he meant that we wona suck you blood too ....

Anyways, if Ed (Master Technician) at Ed's Acura/Honda will do it for $300 with alignment, then I will do it there.

Sadly enough, no performance shop that I am aware of in NH! WTF the nearest Dynojet shop is 90-miles in MA.

Thanks for all your replies.
