i just got my H&R Sports and im tryin to get them installed i was told by one place 200 and by another i was told 250....now as far as i see it they gonna have to have a girl waitin there to sukk and fu** me for that price cuz i payed 180 for the springs theres no way in hell im payin more to install em lol dats crazyyyy i might end up doin it myself......How much were u guys charged???

 

Sounds reasonable to me. What area of the country are you from? Labor in DC averages $75-100 a flat rate hour. At the dealer I worked at we generally charged a little more labor on aftermarket items because they were usually more difficult to install than tock stuff.

Very rarely did anyone complain about our labor charges.

 

I paid 140cdn to have my springs installed, so 200usd IMHO a rip off!

 

i paid 100 for my H&R Sport Springs...

 

Do it yourself. Look up DIY instructions and tackle away. If you need help, feel free to shoot me an IM at GrandPrixC. I'll help you step-by-step.

Not only will you save money, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you did it yourself.

 

Well, I will.

Let's take a coilover suspension swap for example. You would take the factory strut assemblies off the car and replace with the aftermarket coilovers which are direct replacements.

How is that any different than replacing the factory strut assemblies (if blown or for whatever reason) with new factory strust assemblies? It's the exact same task.

I'm not trying to blame you or anything at all. I just don't understand the whole concept of "aftermarket = automatically higher labor charge".

 

i paid 150 for my H&R springs and 125 for install

 

thats true thanks ill print up the DIY and gather up the tools needed and if i do come across any problems ill give u a shout and yea i would feel alot more comfortable doing it myself knowing that i didnt get ripped off thanks

 

where in jersey did u get em installed..........im in ocean county btw

 

I paid $100...

 

see i had a feelin they was tryin to beat me in my head theres no way in hell it cost 250 jus to put some springs in a car i can do it myself just dont have the right tools but im gonna have to find em thats my new mission lol

 

ya they are being gay about the price...just look around more cause I was quoted $250 or so at one place also.

 

Pure Adrenaline-

First off, let me say I'm unfamiliar with this brand of spring. Most of the suspension work we did was Comptech parts, which fit perfectly. There were some other brands that my performance technicians did not like installing because they took more time to do, because they weren't a 'drop in' repair like OEM parts tend to be.

I seem to recall that most of the springs & shocks were not brought to us as complete asemblies, which meant we had to remove the springs from the shocks and install new springs on already installed shocks, etc.

I would wholeheartedly agree that a drop-in coil over shock assembly shouldn't take too long, and those I'm sure were priced accordingly.

Hell, they're usually easier to install, since they're physically shorter.

Just relating my experience is all. Again, we rarely had anyone upset with our prices.

 

paid 150$ in queenz new york... i know him personally hes a great guy not out there to take ur money... if u want to take it there let me know

 

i paid 100 for springs and 50k but that was from a friend.

 

120$

 

in belleville..washington ave

 

it's avg 30-40 dollars per spring

plus alignment

200 with alignment would be a fair deal i would say~

 

$130 to install my H&R sports.

then

$100 for a package of (4) four wheel alignments. Got 3 left.
