Springs installation pricing?

Okay so I'm going to be buying Tyler's H&R sports from him soon and I went to a local wheel store and the guy said it would cost around $500 to install and align. Obviously I'm asking around at other places and mechanics in the area but I was just wondering what an average cost should be around because $500 seems really high to me but I have no knowledge of suspension so any help would be great.

I am by no means a professional, but that seems quite high to me.

I had my coilovers installed, adjusted, and an alignment done for like $380.

$80 was for the alignment, the $300 was for labor on the install.

Search for a suspension shop in your area, rather than a wheel shop.

Or you could try to post in your regional forum to see if there is a member who is local who can help you put them on yourself

Those prices seem way high bro...if you were near ct, I would install them at no charge...I've done coil overs on both of my tl's and member "cazio". So for me it's a breeze...good luck though
