I am wanting to buy eibach's lowering springs and can get them for $210 shipped brand new, which I think is a good price. But I was quoted $250 somewhere to have them installed. Does this sound good? Or should I keep looking?

its really not that hard of an install. I would say take 3-5 hours of your day and do it. Just get the clamps from autozone or something, they only require a deposit.

The only pain is the front. Make sure to loosen the top bolt of the assembly while its still bolted into the frame. Will save you a lot of time haha.

I believe 200 is a fair price for fronts and rears.

Mine was a little over 200 to install. Guy does Eibachs all the time and took him 4 hours.

I paid $200 as well. Thats one thing I wouldnt do myself, for fear of my own safety and the safety of others.

Haha, exactly. That's why I won't touch my breaks either. Everyone says it's easy, but if something gets screwed up and I can't stop, I would rather that not be on my head.

Easy install with a friend. Buy them beer, and take your time, ensuring that you properly tighten everything back up.
