I recently got a quote for $600 just to install. I already have the springs.
The dealership quoted me around $300 for install. Do you think they're including the alignment? Does it really only take 50 min to install the springs?

John (Eurorev) - where you at?? 
Eurorev charged me 400 with H&R springs a few years back. Prices could have obviously gone up since then...A+ Shop...
Also, Vincent (Eurorev) recommnded that a wheel alignment was not necessary.
And 2 years and many thousdands of Cali potholes and miles later, I would have to agree with him.
I have no excessive tire wear, no vibrations at any speed, and steering is still pitch perfect.
Sooooo, why is everybody getting an alignment done after spring install?
I know it is a no-brainer after lowering most cars - but maybe not necessary for our beauties?
Not sure - but wanted to share my experience...now, I'm out for a morning drive!

That's what I figured. Somebody earlier stated that it only took 50 min. So at $80 per hour, I'm looking at $160 - $320 for installation only. The dealer is $100 per hour, but can they get it done faster?
