Springs Installation Costs?

Jlu88 · 11-16-2017, 07:58 PM

So I'll be getting my car back from the body shop next week and I have my Eibach Pros and H&R spacers ready to go on. I've only checked 1 place so far and they quoted me $535 to install the front springs and rear links.

Would anyone mind sharing how much you were charged for installation?

Thanks!

I paid $250 for springs. Didn't do spacers, though that should be minimal. There's a ton of shops in LA though, so pricing is pretty competitive.

Yeah seen $350-500 around here for install. I did my F80 with a friend so going to do that route again and save some money.

Have to work with dealer on MPPK install

Nope, the $535 was just labor for the springs and spacers...

Dayummm, that's pretty expensive! But 4-5 hours is similar time I was quoted.

Anyone have recommendations in the NYC area?

Update;

Just had the springs and spacers installed, immediately noticed the annoying bouncy wallowy feel over bumps with the air suspension has been drastically reduced in comfort mode and that alone was worth the upgrade!

Car was approx 32" fender to ground all around before install, will measure again when it has settled some more.
