This is the practice of a shop who both does not specialize in, and does not want to do the job.

Typical costs should be between $3-500 sans alignment as it is a simple 2 hour job for those with experience.

I'm in NH and can do it for you. It's not bad at all. 2 hour job. Message me if you want. I'm about 45 mins north of Boston.

the rear is so easy, between 15-30 mins each side, the front is little harder.

That's ridiculous. You need to cross the border to NY, assuming you're in southern west CT.

The Stance Shop in NY.

They're most likely quoting book time, which isn't accurate for this platform (book lists 8 hours). Real time is ~3 hours.

Stance Shop in Astoria, NY. Great price and they installed my lowering springs fast and easy.

Shouldn't be more than 4 hours of work. Maybe less. My local bmw charges $150/hr labor so I'd say $600 tops.

+1 for the Stance Shop.

+1 for AutoCouture.

They've worked on my cars from Ingolstadt as well.
