how much should i be paying to change springs?

I went to a local shop and it seemed pretty sketchy in there and it looked like they did some sloppy micky mouse work there.I asked how much they would charge me to change and and align my new set up(350z tien stech) and they told me 300...that's more than I payed for the springs -_- this g35 i just got is my first car so I dont know much about these things....some help would be nice lol

I paid only $40 bucks. I don't know what it is now. Check out R & J located in Carson.

I would say $100 or less it about average. There's some craiglist guys offering to do it for i think $50. But you can diy it isn't really that diffcult. I would just diy, you can do it in probably 2hrs or less with hand tools.

45min with a lift and air tools.

Replacing springs on our cars is easy. It literally took me 2 hours. What springs did you go with? I only payed a hundred for mine lol. Not too bad of a ride either, also made a 2 inch drop which is frkn low
