Hey guys I found a pretty decent deal on Eibach spings and Koni shocks from Shox.com. ($800.00)

I called around to shops here in San Diego, like Group 5, and they wanted $475.00 to intstall the springs and shocks. I thought that was kind of expensive. Can you guys tell me what a decent price is? Maybe thoes of you who went to EuroRev?

Thanks.

i was looking for a shop to install my springs aswell and came across socalsuspensiongarage.com in el cajon, he quoted me $250 for the install (springs only). he doesn't have an alignment rack but said that he has done so many that he can pretty much eyeball it.

Awsome. All the other shops I called were saying 500-750. I'll check out this place.
