Eibach Springs installation cost

How much does it cost to install springs including the alignment?

I have been quoted 400$ and it seems pretty high to me!


thanks!

500 dollars for spring install and alignment?? thats ridiculous. Maybe WITH the cost of the springs it could come close to that amount.

Im not sure how much springs cost these days..but labor remains the same pretty much. for my brothers w202, we paid 270 for H&R springs installed. then around 150 to get an aligment. total=420. A spring install should run no more than 80-100 dollars max.

I paid $330 for the Eibach springs installed at d2technik.com and the dealer charged me about $90 for a wheel aligment and $50 to install the front camber bolts (including parts). The dealer would have installed the springs with alignment for $275 + the springs are around $250 a set.

D2technik is where my brother got his springs and installation. (and Brabus monoblock fives w/ Dunlop sp 8000s).

Those in SoCal, contact KwiK on this forum. He's done numerous installs for the MB, BMW, and Audi folks. He'll beat all those pices above and is very experienced.
