Cost for installing eibachs from Infiniti!?!?!?!?

lol I mean is it me or does this sound like a joke??

I was quoted from my Willow Grove Infiniti $615.00 to install 4 eibach springs on my car. LOL

That's 3 times more than what i paid for the freaking springs!!!

Can someone give me some input?? or what to do?



*****UPDATE***********
soo i got a buddy of mine who takes his gtr to this one guy...he quoted me $210 with assembly of the springs and alignment so thats a great price.....and he def sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

find an aftermarket performance shop in your area. NEVER get anything from the stealership except a car and free warranty work ........

I see people on here paying 150-250 so anywhere in that range should be fine. Just find a shop that does springs often, and they will get the job done for you and most shops warranty the work, the dealership will not.

Dealerships typically charger $100+/hr for their labor, an independent shop may charger as little as $50/hr. I do springs all the time, I typically charge about $225.

That does sound a bit high even for a dealership though. I'd have guessed about $400-$450.

Wow lightsout...that is a steal and VERY quick.

I think $200-250 is pretty common for most decent shops. Definitely not something you should head to the dealer for.
