Not everyone have the skills to work a car. I did swap the suspension of my G but i had a friend that let me use the lift of his shop. It would have been a PITA to do it on stands. but is doable.
The labor charges of JapTrix are really out of this world. I have called them a couple of times to get quotes for doing stuff and the have thrown some big numbers at me. Now, i would truely suggest to bargain with them to get a better quote.

 

ALL shops charge $75-100 labor rates so dont just blame japtrix. the only person ive ever seen do springs for cheap is charles in tampa for $75 (1 hr).

 

I used to charge (back in the Civic days) $100 for springs and camber kit intalls and from what I've notice when I did my springs, this car is way easier than my Civic was.

 

Yep $75.00 for spring installations. Takes about 45mins.

Thanks
Charles

 

Springs are pie, I have done like 20 sets on jack stands. Then another 10 probally between Mike and I at the coast guard base. The lift makes it much easier, but 100% do-able on your own.

You guys can not blame Japtrix for charging the normal labor rate, if you don't like it do it yourself.
