hmm...I stopped by pep boys a while ago and they told me about 120ish. The guy that worked there told me that I shouldn't even do it there caus it cost a lot more than most shops..today I had my shocks and springs installed for 65 bux total at a shop my friend referred me to, so it's possible to get it done for pretty cheap

i got mine done for 185 and the guy did a ****ty job. He didn't put the rubber in-between the plates on the rear driver's side shock so it'd make noise everytime i'd go over bumps.

Down here in Austin Texas the average install I was quoted was closer to $300.00 (install and alignment). I just laughed at them and waited a few weeks until I had time to do the work myself.

Do it yourself. Autozone has a loaner tool program, so you can use spring compressors and a torque wrench from them.

I had mine installed at a local garage who has a good reputation. They charged $300 for install/alignment. They did a great job, so it was worth it to me. Reading these posts, I don't see how some of you are getting it done for like $120 - it takes a good amount of time to do a full strut/spring install.
