A good price to get these installed properly would be 200 bucks...if you are getting charged more, the value over 200 bucks mean you are bending over slightly a little more to get reamed. So like 300 you're bending over 90 degrees, 400 you are grabbing your ankles, and 500 you are beyond your ankles, you are now a contortionist...

Suspension work is not that hard, if you guys take off your wheels you'll see what needs to be removed in order to swap out the springs...get down and dirty, a little elbow grease...you can learn along the way too...and if you get stuck at some point, me, and the rest of the gang on this board will be here to help..
