    Spring install costs $300 bucks.

    Some shop told me that they wouldn't install my H&R springs, if I didn't have lowering struts. Then they said if I had the struts also, it would be around $300 for the install.

    That is just crazy. I'll try to tackle the install myself. When Chicago unthaws of course.

    yea it might be a good idea to wait for struts anyways, since HOPEFULLY they should be out soon.. dont wanna do a painful spring install then have to do it again when shocks come out.

    Yeah Zero, forgetaboutit. That is a huge rip, if I didn't know anyone. I still wouldn't pay more than 200 with alignment.

    $200 would be as high as I would go, there are only a few places (and people) here I would trust.

    After you do it yourself (and Chicago has a warmish day) you won't be afraid to tackle other suspension-related jobs like brake work. I'd never pay that much to get springs installed, even though I would charge that much if I owned a shop.

    If you can wait we are trying to put together that install day and there you can get install for the nice low price of $0.
