Spring installer in southeast PA

[dawei213]

What's the going rate for lower spring installation? I've inquired a few places and most places are $500+. Sounds pretty high for spring installs. What prices are you guys getting?

Autocouture quoted me $675.

Wow, $675 just sounds so high for just an install.

they typically charge outrageous labor rates. I got quoted 300$ to install a status gruppe lip which took me 20 mins to install

$675 doesn't sound outrageous if it comes with an alignment. Let's break it down: if it takes only 1 hour to swap out each wheel/spring set, time 4, at an average of $125/hour ($160 BMW SHOP RATES)... pricing isn't too far out of whack from what you're quoted. Ask for the alignment to be included.

Ps I have a set of Swift R springs for sale that I never put on my car.

By the looks of their consistently filled parking lot and shop, with some of the finest cars in the area, it appears that customers are happy with their labor rates. Just my observations...

But all the vendors here in Cali say install time is from 1.5 to 2 hours for springs. How is there such a huge discrepancy between that and installers here saying about 4 hours.

I was really hoping for a vendor around mid atlantic that would have similar springs/install deals like those in Cali.
