Installation Cost Range?

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a good deal or at least reasonable for having the following installed:

1. Fortune Auto 500 coilovers (OEM Style)
2. SPL Front Cambers
3. SPL Rear Cambers
4. SPL Rear End Links
5. Moog Front End Links
6. Wheel Alignment (all 4 wheels)

I was quoted $600-$700 and the job should take about 5-8 hours depending on how smoothly the installation goes.

Is this installation cost within a good range or is this too high? What is a good/reasonable cost range?

Thanks!

X2, also be sure to ask if that includes a readjustment to the height if the suspension settles lower than you want or if it needs fine tuning to even things out side to side/front to back.

Good deal IF they are a reputable shop. Don't just go there because they are the cheapest. If they can't do it right the first time, you are just wasting money and time to do it a second time.

Okay. Yeah, these guys specialize in Japanese (mostly Honda, and some Nissan) cars and do race their own cars regularly here. I worked with them before and they are also highly recommended by many here in the Chicago area.

Besides, Luke at THMotorsports also worked with them before and said good things about them as well. Finding a reputable performance shop is one of the reasons why I waited so long before deciding to upgrade to coilovers.
