Today I went to Firestone and Kragen for pricing on install for the Eibach Sportlines and just about lost it. I started yelling at the first guy cause i couldn't believe it so they brought in the manager.
Firestone - $410 (buncha bulllllllllshiat) Kragen - $400 Anyone else get this high for install on some springs? I kno they gotta take off the strut but the guy said it takes them an hour and a half for front and then the same for the backs..I mean im no pro and i think i could do it better than that, all i need is the machine. But if anyone knows where i could get em installed for cheaper or if someone lives near san fran and want's to help im down to put em in. But these guys were just homo. |

Hey Importceli,
Where in California do you live? If in So Cal, there are some places you can check out. Discount Tire Center in El Monte installed Tein S-Tech springs on my friends 2003 Corolla for $275 parts and labor. Gushi Auto in Whittier quoted me $200 for installation only (I know, a bit high). Keep trying other smaller shops -- I'm sure you'll find someone who will do it for less, unless you decide to tackle it yourself. Good luck. |
