Question How much were your springs incl. install & tax

I am looking for Eibach springs for my sedan but I got quoted $650. from a shop including the install, alignment and tax, is that a good price? I paid $370 including tax and install for my 02' Maxima so I can't understand why its so much more.
If any of you guys know where to get everything done cheaper then please let me know, I live in Cambridge but am willing to drive to the GTA if the price is good.

I am doing quoting for parts...PM me if interested. I do only ordering in parts but not installation at the moment. So you still need to find place to install tho. Good luck with your price'n !!!

For the spring itself it should be around 400CND, ask for the installation cost tho...usually it cost like $40-50 per spring...(400CND won't be my charges, but I can't sell in forum as Colin said. So you gotta PM me if you are interested. Thx)

Edit: Search for "Price Quote for Mod parts", I got some little info in there.

As for just the springs I can get them for a real good deal ($320 incl. tax) my friend owns a shop so he gives me his cost but the labour is $330 for install and alignment.

FWIW, I would'nt recommend getting the alignment done at the same time.
They need to settle for a couple of weeks.

Where are you getting these prices!??

Hey guys..... just thought i'd add my .02 ..... i'm just wondering where you guys are getting these ridiculous prices?!? I just bought a set of H-tech 350z springs for $225 plus tax from JRP... I really don't think Eibachs would be any more expensive than Tein!?? i'm not positive tho...

p.s. the install shouldn't cost more than $150... even at that price i'm shuttering because its such a basic install to do yourself or with a buddy!!

Eibachs ARE more expensive than Tein.. on just springs
for the alignment; you guys need to let the ride settle before you go do an alignment (that's essentially what i did.. just got a sweet deal when I do the alginment in the same place after 2~3 weeks )

Ok I called JRP and got quoted the same price for the tien springs so thats out of the way, I do have a friend thats good with cars that should be able to help me out, if he knows how to rebuild an engine than he shouldn't have a problem with this. Now for alignment I had a shop tell me to wait 2 weeks to get an aligmnent its just a mater of serching for the best price.

Thanks for your info guys

I was recommended to a place in Burlington called Dream Tire. I have to go this week to get an alignment since it's been a few weeks since I dropped the car.
