Eibach springs install cost

Just got a quote from my local dealer of 810 plus tax. Seems super high to me. Did a search and see a lot of people paid less than 500. 6 hours of labor?

Does your price include alignment? That may be the difference, as often alignment has a set price regardless of labor time. Just a thought. I paid $700 in MD including alignment.

Price is going to vary.

The local dealer here is $175 an hour regardless of what type of work they are doing.

We are $155 an hour on diagnostics and repairs and $120 an hour on installations. Shops in Los Angeles often charge much less because their overhead is much less.

Varies indeed. I've had these installed on 3 vehicles now...all at reputable shops...average cost was $300 CAD.

Why is anyone going to a dealer to install aftermarket parts? 9 times out of 10 they are going to be substantially more expensive than a quality indy shop.
