$250 to install Spring and Struts

Is this a good price along with the $600 that I will have to pay for the Springs and Struts.

Does that include an alignment? If not, it's on the steep end.

You can do it yourself in about 4 or 5 hours. If you were close enough I would help you if you buy the beer.

even with the alignment, that's kinda too much...they shouldn't charge you so much extra for installing both springs and shocks. in fact, that's just one install..u have to remove the shocks and springs anywayz.

I guess it just depends on where you live. The absolute cheapest price I could find around the DC area was $350 which included alignment.

I am in Staten Island NYC and I paid $150 with an alignment to have springs and struts installed, i thought that was average but looking at what others have paid I guess it was a good deal.

Hey Juice, this is kinda off topic but I was just looking at your sig picture and your fog lights are on without your headlights being on. I thought that the fog lights wouldn't work without the HID's being on. Also, what kind of lights did you put in your fogs? They look really sweet. Thanks

Do it yourself, all you need is:
Spring clamps, big *** breaker bar, various deep-well sockets, torque wrench, a friend to assist and jacks and stands.

It does take some time and when you are done, take it to sears and they will do an alignment for $50.

As for the foglight rewire you can check the how to, its real easy. AS for the bulbs, I work for KOP HIDs so I installed a 6000k H3 conversion kit.

$250 is a good price. I live in NY and it cost me $200 for the install and $75 for the alignment. Got it done at Speedworld.
