Little help my forum frineds...I have a pro kit Eibach springs and rear camber kit that I need to have installed...and the local Riverside, CA dealership wants an arm and a leg for install, anybody use a So Cal shop (riverside/san bernardino county preferably) that they were happy with the work and quality of the shop?! I know this is not a big install, but, it is my wifes daily driver and I want to keep potential probs (tire wear etc) to a minimum.. Thanks in advance...

 

How much did the dealer quote you?

Most SoCal guys like to go to Street Image. I own a shop also, but my spring installs aren't cheap, its a lot of work.

 

dealer is quoting 450 plus alignment.....;((

 

Ill send you a authorized shop he will get you the best deal, ive dealt business many times with them, let me know

At $56.25/hr labor rate that's one 8 hr day. Eiback pro kit in one day is a lot of work. Riverside Infiniti did my Injen CAI, and did flawless work. I think it's a fair price myself, and will have them do mine for that when the time comes. Just bought my 2nd new G35 there last week.

 

8hrs for springs?

 

Its not quite 8hrs for a spring install... And also shop rates for the dealer are usually ~$90/hr. Dealer will probably charge 1hr per corner.

 

go to vision autosport...i got my eibach springs there and they installed it for me. total was 230? i think

just the springs right...they did it for me right there...1.5 hrs, no more than 2 for sure...

 

eibachs on your wifes daily driver...ohhhh ohhhhhh...i feel bad for the car..

an hr per corner..??? 60-70 per hr x 4 = thats around 250 for install alone..??
thats basically the price of the springs...just rediculous...

again...call visionautosport.com in city of industry
im sure they are going to be a lot cheaper.

 

I'm not saying it actually takes that long, but by the book, dealer will probably charge you usually 1/hr per corner.
