I just dropped off my baby to get the lowering kit installed at a long-time family used local guy's shop. It includes H&R Super Sport Springs, Tokico HP shocks/struts, and Maximum Motorsports CC plates. Any estimates on install cost so that I am not overwhelmed when I get the bill??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

just curious but why wouldnt u ask before u dropped the car off? they should have been able to give u an estimate.

 

Well I let my dad talk to the guy on the phone before I dropped it off and he never asked. And when I brought it by, the guy wasn't there, his assistant was. And when I asked his assistant, he said he couldn't give estimates since he was just the mechanic and not the one who does installations like this.

 

lol


lol


sorry

lol

not a hard job should have done it yourself but your looking at labor... lets say $85/hr

4.5 hours: $382ish

 

yea 300-400. hell a local shop charged me $200 for an alignment and camber plate install..not too bad i guess

 

Alignment is another ~$75!!!

I would say around 300 out the door cash would be a fair price with alignment...

 

4.5 Hours????????????????? No way should it take that long with a lift and at a certified garage.

 

agree with you there! shouldnt be over 2 hrs labor plus alignment fee.

 

when I did my drop (three years ago) the guy who did the work charged me 300 bucks, which included the springs...

 

Thanks for the info guys! And I know I should of done this myself and I know I am capable of doing so. But with school and sports and everything, I just don't have the time to do it. And the guy said it shouldn't take long since he has a lift and he works on his own Cobra all the time. He also banks with my dad so maybe (fingers crossed) he will throw in something like free alignment or something to that nature. If not, there goes all my Christmas/car detailing money lol.
