Expected dealer labor rates for spring install
I'd like to get an idea of what peoples experiences are with dealer labor rates for installing the Comptech springs. I got a quote for $340 for labor alone.

you need to ask around....first time was $360 from a shop, then the local dealership wont even do ANY aftermarket stuff.....stupid if you ask me, but the refered me to a shop that is a Honda/Acura performance shop and they quoted me $100 for the install. you can get it done for around that if you look around.
good luck!
good luck!

Definately do not pay more than $150 for it. This is a difficult install that takes a fair amount of time, but any shop/dealer that does these regularly can do it pretty easily and within 2 hours or so. My install cost $100, but that was before the shop realized how hard they were to install, the price has been adjusted to $150 for those coming in now.

Park Ave Acura sells and installs aftermarket stuff. Check out their site.
it's a little dated but you can call them up for quotes for parts and labor.

I was also told that a Comptech spring install isn't just springs. You need bushings, etc. also. This may contribute to the higher labor cost also.

Just spoke with Peter in the Service department. He said that (to date) they have not done ANY 04TL installations that he was aware of. He estimates that it would be more like $335 + parts = the familiar $550 number so many others are getting from the dealers. Said I was the Third person who had called about this TODAY. I'll be following back up with them on Monday. I'm in NJ doing a contract gig and thought I'd get it done while I was here if the price is better than back home. Doesn't look like it will be though :-(

funny, i called the Park Ave Acura yesterday as well. Got the same answer about them not installing it on any 04's yet. They were not able to give me a price for labor since the head service guy was not there. I guess the $90 they told me a few weeks ago was their hourly rate....=(
