Coilovers installation cost!

**DUST** · 03-09-2007 01:31 PM

Hey guys, i rang up a suspension shop and got a quote for $89 an hr and it may take 3 hrs or more to put them on. So it will be $267 or more to install them.

1. Is this a reasonable price?
2. Or should i source it out cheaper?
3. How much have you guys paid to install them?

i haven't heard of that kind of job being charged per hour...

over here i got a quote for package, $1700 coilover + fitting...

lOl i don't know where you went but that's a ridiculous price. have a look around for some alternatives. you could save yourself money and self install them. i got mine installed for $100...took about maybe 2 hours.

Omg for reals, over charging me hey bastards lol
I will try to bargain it down then hehe

I would love to do it myself and i can get all the necessary tools to install them. I know its simple bolt ons too. But i might aswell pay pros to do it since i dont have a hoist to do it properly. Really i just wanna do the rear coilovers first cause if my LCAs dont fit on my new ones, then im screwed!

Anyone in Perth willing to give me a hand? lol

do it yourself. Only took me 2 - 3 hours and it was the first time i've ever worked on suspension. been on the car for about 9 months and they're working great. no funny noises and no leaks.

Jason wanna help me install them :P

**scyt7e** · 03-09-2007 01:58 PM

haha you want me to try? ahahahhahaha

anyway it doesnt take 3 hours my mechanic will do it for you all 4 corners for around 100 bucks but u gotta come back to adjust it or just adjust the height yourself after

usually around 2-300 to have them installed. havent heard any1 charging that by the hr for suspensions tho.

**scyt7e** · 03-09-2007 02:09 PM

300 is way too expensive i wouldnt pay more than 150 all up to get them installed

**DUST** · 03-09-2007 02:22 PM

I know mechanics work for $60 an hr, but just to install suspension for $89 an hr is abit too much i thought.

Yeh scyt7e come over I'll buy you lunch and u can put them on for me haha. Oh yeh and bring me a spoon front lip T_T
I might get my cousin to chuck them on for me then.

This is the same shop that charge my friend $800 for Tein springs for Subaru STI plus istallation.

**scyt7e** · 03-09-2007 02:39 PM

LOL haha i woudl try but your car might be the 2nd one i've ever done so i dunno :P a lot of risk there you want to send it to my mechanic? 100 bucks installation roughly pretty good too not per hour but thats fixed price

and i'm looking for the lip for u
