Koni/Bilstein Shocks quote

[docker]

Hi Everyone

I have decided to move to springs/shocks combo and not the TEIN SS coilovers. I have the Eibach springs already, just getting the shocks now and a rear camber kit.

Below are the prices I have been given for the Shocks ... does this look reasonable in your opinion?

Front koni shocks $610.00 pair
Rear koni shocks $655.00 pair

OR

Front bilstien shocks $635.00 pair
Rear bilstien shocks $535.00 pair

Eibach Rear camber kit $345.00 kit (2 arms)

Labour to fit $320.00

Wheel alignment $75.00

They recommend to get the KONI's as they are externally adjustable and the front spring seats are also adjustable.

ummm, for front and rear + camber kit your looking at the same cost as getting actual coil overs...

Your pricing sounds reasonable except labour seems a bit high.I paid $2160 drive in drive out(Bilsteins with Eibach springs plus rear(Eibach)camber kit,align etc.Get the Bilsteins,they're brilliant,they really suit the Euro.:thumbsup:

You need to shop around more. I paid around $160 labour for coilovers installed in Perth.

Wheel alignment should be $49 for a 4 wheel alignment. Most large chains charge around that sort of money for a laser align.

Just curious & slightly off topic, where/whom did you get your quotation on the bilstein shocks?

I got the shocks when i got the shocks quote for Bilstien/Eibach. Shocked from the price. Got quotes from 2 joints too. Thats why i got Tein ss. cheaper.... and adjustable.

Yeah I realised that after adding up all the figures but I still think the spring/shock option is best for me.

but you cannot change the ride height, and the tein will be almost as soft as stock suspension

But docker has the Eibach springs already.
