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. |
