Installation costs....

What would be a reasonable cost to have springs and a rear camber kit installed? I've been getting some quotes and just thought I would get some more opinions.

I would say $100 is really low unless your friend is doing it in his garage. The rear camber kit is fairly simple but I'd guess you be looking at around $200 or so. The job itself should probably take about 60 - 90 minutes at most.

I was quoted $300 from GS Motorsports, and geez I believe they do good work but German said it would take a half a day to do, which if it did I would understand the costs.

call other shops in the area and I can pretty much guarantee that will be the lowest price. if you were to have some friends or acquaintances do it...it would more than likely be considerably less expensive...

me personally...rather have a shop do it than an individual because individuals don't always have the tools necessary or space necessary to do the job right. either way...get an alignment a week after its done!

I would think that someone with experience could swap out some springs and change some camber arms in around 3 hours. So that is like $100/hr. for labor. I'm just going to call up some suspension shops and see what they charge for similar work.
