So what is an acceptable cost for a spring install in LA?
Sorry, I'm sure this must get posted every couple months, but I was searching the forums trying to figure how much I should pay for a spring install in southern california, and I've basically heard 2 arguments:
1) in LA there is a lot of competetion and I shouldn't pay more than $200
2) the low priced spring install is a trend started by some cheap shops and I should expect to pay more ($300 or $400) because its long and hard work.
so is there anything to the 2nd argument? I just want to find a good shop that will do it as cheap as possible, but I don't want to pay $100 less and get a sh**ty job done.
also, anyone know any good shops in the pasadena area?

I used to work for Eibach Springs, and he helped me with a ton of installations on Accors and the CL/TL cars. He is very compitent and will be able to help you out. He about an hour from you, but I think it would be well worth your money to give him a call.
PM me if you are interested.
