650 for install right? That's not too bad it's about a solid 6 hrs of work.

are you seriously insinuating that $650 to install coilovers is a fair price?

OP, find someone local in your area (maybe even someone from this forum to help you). i'd charge you a case of beer to install your coilovers and wouldn't take 6 hours, maybe 3.

it is not hard to do with the right tools and instructions. save your money man.

Please don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. It should not cost $650 to get coils installed. ~$300-ish and no more is what you should expect for labor.

You think it takes 6 hours to install coilovers?

How long do you think it takes to change oil and a filter? 2 hours?

Ouch. I charge $200 for complete coilovers with top hats installed or $250 for springs or to piece together a suspension..

I can do it in about 2 hours or so..

You mean Vivid?? Yeah, they're hella nice guys but they don't actually do the work there. They'll send your ride to Wheel Specialists. Here's some Yelp reviews on Vivid:

Where in the Valley are you?? If you're not out here in the east valley, Wheel Specialists & Vivid are both going to be a hell of a drive for you.
