How much did you guys pay for the installation of your suspensions?

[imtim25]

i visited a body shop where my friend's friend works and i was planning to install some new springs there. i talked to the guy and he said it'll cost $200 flat ($50 an hour) so i left my keys and i called my friend and got a ride to his house. 15 minutes later i get a call from them saying that it'll cost $410 due to labor and blah blah blah so i told them **** YOU and picked up my ride.

How much did you guys pay for the installation of your suspensions because i'm dam sure that it did cost anything near $410.

i paid 125.00 for the rental of the spring compressor for
which Can Tire re-credited meaning i paid 0.00

the install went well, and wasnt that hard at all, just
need to pay attention and take your sweet time.

0.00 dollars:)

[imtim25]

you guys did it yourself???

[Torredo]

Yuppers!!

and my performance shop quoted in the 400.00 mark aswell to it....

dont think so, ill do it myself and use the 400.00 on somethin else on
the civic later on.

[imtim25]

honestly i would do it myself, but i just dont have the time/patience to do it. plus i dont really trust myself with tools

[Torredo]

normally i would have taken it in but....400.00 saved ftw!

it did take several hours to do the install and with a few
tools including a spring-compressor, a couple of open/closed-end
sockets, allen key (front struts/top nut), etc...

i think it was well worth my efforts, then spent another 80.00
to have the wheel alignment done at Honda

i use a air compressor and it only took less then 5 hours to install them..

Cost me $80 to buy a torque wrench, install was $0 since I did the install. I have the Tein SS coilovers.

Springs aren't that hard to install. Just get a friend to help you and pay him/her back with a pizza or something

[Torredo]

especially the rear ones man!
them are sooooo easy bro'

its the fronts that take a lil know-how & time, but
yea....get a buddy over and eat some pizza!

[imtim25]

you're located in Socal as in Southern California, RIGHT?

for the spring its easy and cheaper, but fot the whole suspension, atleast 4 to 5 hrs and you also need to get you car align afterwards, and atleast $40-80 per side on the shop.



EDITer side/ per hour.

If anyone is paying more than $40 per side to align then they are getting rapped.

An alignment should not cost more than $80 for the entire car. Honda charges $80 for alignment.
