Default help chime in pls... labor price Koni FSD struts/Eibach pro Kit install

My indy shop says the price for labor on a koni fsd strut/Eibach pro Kit job is $750 does this sound about right.

How many hours did they quote?

I did mine on the ground in less than a day - they should be faster.

Well... if they work at $100/hr that's 7 hrs of work, which to me is overpriced. It did take me by myself on the driveway a good 4 hrs or so to change all 4 sides to springs (struts also would have been a decent idea but mine were fine so I opted not to). I'd say I would pay for half.

BMW tax for the unknowing. I only paid $300 to have my KW V2 CO's installed. I'd call around to other BMW shops to see what the pricing looks like. Don't mention who've you called if they ask.

As Booyaazaa said above, $300 is probably the amount I would pay. When I replaced my suspension, The first time, it took me half a day to do one. The second time 45 minutes per corner. The rears are a bit more as some of the interior has to come out, but I can now remove the rear interior bits (to adjust rebound, if needed) in as little as 30 minutes.
