Spring Install Prices...

How many of you guys had springs installed professionally? What did you pay just for the install? I am trying to get a reasonable idea of the price range for that kind of labor so I don't get ripped off...

The labor is about 2 hours max. Depending on your location, installation runs about $150 in the Bay Area, CA. Why don't you just get a spring compressor and install them yourself ? It's pretty straight forward, especially if you get the clamshell type spring compressor, which cost about $50.
