Is This Cheap for suspension install?

///M3NACE · 03-26-2007, 04:04 PM

i just bought H&R sport and called some spring installers and was estimated at about 2-700$$. Renn Art said it would be 2-250$. Is this a fair price? what did you guys pay for your Spring install?

bronco · 03-26-2007, 04:05 PM

Do it yourself...

there is a DIY on how to do it.

///M3NACE · 03-26-2007, 04:06 PM

Anyone in the CHICAGOLAND AREA that has done it themselves and can help me? i suck at doing things haha

i paid 380 for the springs + install

stressdoc · 03-26-2007, 04:57 PM

Not to be a jerk, but what are your reasons for choosing to put H&R springs on your car? What other suspension mods are you planning?

If you have never done it, DO NOT do it yourself!

It is not funny what can happen with compressed shocks. I don't know about the price in your area, mmm, here in Melbourne Florida, it can be done for less than $200 everything. Try to get spanish people to do it, maybe they don't work as serious (not all), but they always have lower prices. Good for some I guess!

If their not giving you an exact price I'd run, run far far away from them.

I mean a $2-$700 price range. Give me a break.

NaTuReB0Y · 03-26-2007, 11:21 PM

$350 springs + installation

$150 installation

jonerik26 · 03-26-2007, 11:22 PM

a local shop in cali was charging me about $200............but then in the end i did it myself, i've lowered cars before and its not all that hard.

ehhhwik · 03-27-2007, 02:25 AM

I dont think so, but the mechanic just told me it was his 2nd time working on the e90, and first on my e92, so he took his time to make sure everything was properly done, he just said my car is more difficult to do compared to many japanese products

wuufer001 · 03-27-2007, 04:18 AM

ic, as long as everything is working fine for you with no problem.
enjoy

AHY · 03-27-2007, 12:44 PM

I've lowered plenty of Hondas & Subarus, I took a look @ my e92 the rear looks easy but the front looks like a PITA. I drove to a shop and had them do it for under $200.

Dude... Are you serious? Would suggest that you re-evaluate your posts before you make racial stereotype comments.

Im not planning on doing anymore suspension mods after the springs. The reason i choose to get these is because i wanted my car lower!?
