What are you guys paying for coilover install?

Hey guys need a rough estimate of what you are paying for coilover install?
How long did it take them?
Also labor rates?

Thanks fellas. I'm trying to get my KW's put on sometime this week.

$0. seriously, these are easier to deal with than just changing springs. with coilovers, you don't need a spring compressor.

I would love to work on my car. I just don't have the time. I just opened a cellular shop and requires me to be there open to close for six to eight monthes until it's where I want it to be.

sigh, I wish I could.

Fingle - How long did it take you?

I know this has been a sleeping thread for a while but I think it is a good piece of info and I wanted to update it. Just spoke with a guy who quoted me 6.5 hrs at $94 an hour for install and alignment. I will be doing these myself
