Spring/Strut Install Help

Just for background i'm still planning on getting the Progress Springs and Tokico Illuminas

I asked a while ago on this board and the board for my area for install help bc there is no way i could even attempt to do this by myself and i didn't want to pay a shop however nobody agreed and said they'd rather not kill themselves compressing the springs so now I'm wondering how much I should expect to pay at a shop to get the springs/struts installed then I know the alignment can be done for $60 at Town Fair Tire which is very reputable from my experience so if anybody has had theirs installed could you please tell me how much it cost and where you got it done or if you know any good places that are relatively cheap...thanks a lot...and if ur in the MA RI CT area and would be willing to help then please tell me...thanks guys.

Expect to pay about $300, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less for a shop to do it....then add another $60 for the alignment you will need after it's done......

might be well worth it to find an org'er on your local forum who can help you out for alot less $$. And compressing springs is a piece of cake if you have an air ratchet or impact wrench.....

I had mine installed last week for $200.00. I called about 6 different shops and the range was from $200.00 to $300.00.
