I got my H&R Super Sports installed for $150. It only took the technician a little over an hour to install everything.

Average labor cost is around $150-200. I have seen places charge as high as $300-400. Ridiculously high for no more than an hour and half worth of work.

It also helps if the place your going to have already had some experience with the W204s. you don't want your car to be their guinea pig.

Yeah it's $399.99 + tax for the springs and installation.

The breakdown is $250 for the springs and $150 for installation.

$299 for JDM.
