How much $$ will it cost to get springs installed on a 3G?

I have Eibach pro-kit springs and I need to get installed on a 3G 6MT TL. How much am I looking to pay for labor for this install? I dont have the cycles to this myself and would rather pay to get it done if its a reasonable amount.

Also, just in case can you please link me to the DIY self spring/suspension install thread w/pics?

Thanks!

^it can vary from 100-1000
this is why you need to find quotes for the best price in your area.

for my friends I charge about 160.
an indie mechanic might do it for 360.
a chain shop might do it for 600.
etc. etc. etc.

LOL. OP the cost varies by your location. My mechanic charges $40 per wheel. IMO a good price is around $200 give or take.

best DIY link...

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/diy-ht-spec-coilver-install-dummies-any-other-suspension-3g-garage-d-091-a-816065/

Mannn...surprisingly this stuff is super simple...even though i made a mistake (you can read about it on the DIY link) i wouldn't pay someone 400 to do it...if a mech charges less id question the quality and care they have.

3 - 4 hours shop time at the prevailing rate (figure $60 - $100 per hour typically).

Best I found here was $240, but was quoted up to $400-something.

I bought $240 worth of tools and beer and learned to do it myself (with help from a local AZ member).

I've been quoted $400 to get it done. $150 from some local guys that do it in their backyards, and a few places.

THe best price I found in NYC was $200.
