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.

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.

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