Spring Installation

I just got quoted from Absolute ELectronix here in Gaithersburg, MD a price of 350 for installation of some H&R supersports without the alignment. Anyone think this is fair. I'm an avid shopper so I like to make sure I'm getting the best deal. Anyone in the DC/NOVA/MD area have any recommendations?

$300 with alignment is fair.

This is without the alignment. That was an extra 139

See my post a few below yours today. The shop that was insane was in Winchester VA. After I posted, I found 2 places. One place in Chantilly, VA quoted 950 for springs, front sway bar, and rear sway bar (Autothority). The next I called was 1000 for the same (AT Speed Motorsport in Hanover, MD)). The second shop seemed really nice and they do custom tuning as well. I believe both prices were including an alignment. I'd give either a call and ask. If you call the AT Speed place, ask for Gabrielle and tell her Ben from Afghanistan gave you the number.

...and yes the prices for mine are higher due to the sway bars...especially the PITA rear.

yeah thats a little more reasonable, the 2k you posted is ridiculous. My boys shop did a coilover setup for 750 (w alignment) a few weeks ago for a 2011 C, wasnt too bad he said. Guy has the quad mod on a silver C but hes not on the forums here.
