Default $150 to install lowering springs?!

I've had a set of eibach pro-kits in my trunk for almost 3 months now and I just got quoted $150 from a shop to install them. $150 is a little too high for me. How much should it normally cost to install them?

do it yourself, it isn't that hard

the first time i changed mine it only took like 5 hours and that was with the cc plates too

i do understang though if u don't have the resources to do it, then i don't know how much it would cost

no i really don't, i have a nasty dip to get into my driveway and was really worried about it, but it doesn;t hit. also there aren't any speedbumps around here so no worries there

i have about 2.5inches to the bottom of my x pipe so it is close at times

I was quoted around $400 for mine. Did it myself instead.

I just installed springs, cc plates, shocks and struts for the first time yesterday and today. The hardest part for me was when the passenger side tierod end wouldn't drop from the spindle. Other than that it is pretty easy. After doing it, I can't imagine throwing away 400 dollars to have someone install the stuff.
