Suspension install in Jacksonville, FL...any suggestions?!?
I contradicted myself? Do you know anything about labor rates? $110 an hour, they will charge an hour per spring so thats over $400 dollars. So I am not ripping people off. Why don't you go to the dealership. Its said many ways. An hour per strut, an hour per spring, 2 hours a side it comes down to 4 hours. Thats what I said wow, you need to get out more.

Charles, man, I wish you lived closer. Heck, for $75 I may even consider driving down to Tampa, except it's a 2-hour and change drive from Jacksonville. Would you be able to do it on a Saturday? Where do you work?

having been in the community for over 3 years, i think i know how long it takes and what shops/dealers charge. ive seen anywhere from $100-250 with an average of 1-2 hrs for the install. as other people have already stated in this thread, your 4 hr estimate is completely off so move on.
etien its closer to a 3 hr drive to get to tampa, 3.5 hrs for clearwater.
charles im looking at springs and sways for my potential g37 so i might have to come visit as well.
OK guys lets chill getting a little personal. From taking wheels off to back on it took about 2 1/2 hours to do my springs. Didn't need a spring compressor as the s-techs were much shorter. But I would drive to Tampa any day for $75. Or find a buddy who's done it and tackle it your self. Thats what I did. Theres a few great DIY's on this not sure about the G37 though. Good luck whatever direction you decide to go.
No problem guys, I already have a busniess. I just don't have a shop yet. I will be sponsoring G35driver in the next week or so. I will be offering the better prices for the forum member than I did at Rx. The labor rate on springs installs will always be $75.00 dallors on any 350z and G's. Only takes me about 45min to 1 hour. So there is not need to charge anymore.
