Thanks for the offer but I'm just looking around to see how much the workshops does it for cause I'm lazy to put them in myself.

That price seem alright I guess. Might confirm with the place I'm buying the spring from about their installation costs. I think they told me all up around $400 for springs, fitted, and wheel alignment.

nah thats too much...i went through exact same story two weeks ago. bought the same springs for same price and got quotes from all local workshops. got quoted like 400 bucks all the time.
Then went to closest Goodyear Service centre. they did it for me with 2 hours labour = 150 bucks and front and rear wheel alignment for 60 bucks.
So all up i got it done for 210 bucks. and good service too... shop around a bit more cause u'll get ripped off if the workshop is not familar with the job at hand.

400 for springs, fitted, and alignment.

300 for springs = 100 for installing

Sounds cheaper than what you got :S

hmm. full alignment will be about $70-90. Full installation from myself = $100.

$200 ish is abit cheaper than $400 :)

BTW i said I THINK they said $400 inc spring install and alignment. But I have a feeling I heard wrong and the guy meant $400 just for the install and alignment because $100 sounds a bit too cheap. If it is $400 might as well bug a mate to do it for me :]

i agree with ironfist.....

Ben i think the 400 includes springs ..........

but if all your local workshops are charging 400 to install springs u need to move out the area son....

thats the point i was making rofl...and i was "quoting" my own opinion irrelevant to whatever had been said before :rolleyes:.

Anyway , the overall price for a full alignment , install and springs themselves would be around the $500 mark from a workshop.
