I don't have the tools or a place to put my new Tokico struts and springs in myself, so I'm having a shop do it.. does $450 sound like a rip? Thanks

 

What kind of shop is doing it? If it's a franchise like Brakemax or Pepboys, that sounds about right. A local performance shop should do it for a lesser amount.

 

jesus christ - $450 for a spring/strut install? yes you are getting ripped off.

 

100% ripped off.

 

Yeah thats horrible, Im sure if you look in the regional section you can find someone local who will do it for you cheap.

 

Even for installing Koni inserts I'd say that's a ripoff. If you're near me I can give you a hand sometime--where do you live?

 

dude... ur getting ripped off big time...where do u live at... i mean what city and state....i mean if i was closer to you i would love to help you out do the install .. i have done it on three cars so far and two of them were maximas...

 

$450 is way to high for just labor. are any parts innvolved? $100-$200 is normal for just the install.

 

Ripped off big time. $200 is a fair price for a shop and much less if it is by one of your buddies.

 

Thanks for all the good info guys. I think ill post in a regional forum or find a performance shop.. I live in Tampa, FL btw .. if anybody is close and wants to help, ill pay ya..

 

I lived in Tampa on Bruce B Downs

2 things

That Z shop on Fletcher is a Ripp &
Set aside ~80 bucks for a 4 wheel alignment after your done

Try Tamp Racing Fourms For local help
and good luck

 

PS. I'm same screen name

 

I had a local shop change 4 struts for 80 bucks... springs shouldn't cost any extra - same job anyway

 

I used to use S&K motors on Waters, I trusted them when I still lived there.

 

holy crap that is alot of money.

 

Before u pay to get them put in -get some new strut bearings and check the upper strut mounts before re-install, u don't want to pay twice to do it later.

 

Too late for that...... suspension has been installed.
