Has anyone gotten work done here in the Houston area? I may be purchasing Tein Basics or H&R Springs and Koni Shocks in the near future and I am looking for a shop that is reasonable. I was just quoted $1,500 for the purchase and installation of H&R Springs and Koni Shocks!

WTH? $1,500? Tein Super Streets (adjustable ride-height and shocks) are $1,400 retail. Might as well get those instead of H&R/Koni combo for $100 more. And I'm pretty sure you can get the KW V2's for close to that as well.

I'd email some of the vendors on here to see what their price would be to buy the Super Streets and have them shipped to you. Then just find a place that will charge you a reasonable amount for install.

I was just as shocked! Two questions:

1). What should labor be to either install Tein Basic Coilovers or H&R Springs and Koni Shocks?
2). Does anyone know a good shop here in the Houston area to have them installed?
