CLK430, CLK320 Cabriolet, ML350
Check out this comical price emailed to me from RENNtech....
So I emailed RENNtech to inquire about a simple lowering springs installation on my CLK430. Repeat, this is for lowering springs and installation. I figured I lived by them so I would see. Here is the response.....
Thank you for the inquiry Leandro
We are also a little backed up, I’ll have to order the Lowering Springs
We can schedule the car in about 2 weeks, and we need the car here
about 2 days.
Springs $ 525, plus 6 hours install $ 840, plus tax $ 88.72 ($ 1453.72)
Regards
George
So I bought H&R springs (H&R or Eibach are probably the manufacturer for RENNtech) for $239, and I made an appointment at a respected Japanese import tuner shop in the area for a quote of $200 for the install, and they do it same day while you wait (I dont need to leave my car there for two days like RENNtech).
So what you guys think? Should I go RENNtech and pay $1,453.72 and let them hold my car for two days, or should I go to Japtrix and have my $239 H&R springs installed for $200 while I wait? Haha. I have no idea how RENNtech stays in business.
EDIT - I just cant stop laughing at a 6 hour install according to RENNtech. If a shop takes over an hour and fifteen minutes, they are retarded. My last three cars have been lowered and never took more than hour and half. Did you guys know RENNtch hot-rods go-karts now? How ghey. Screw RENNtech.

Any AMG Thats Around..
they go by book time.... which i believe is around 1hr a corner.... If you call an MB dealership and ask how much to R/R a spring, they should say 1-1.5hr... thats where that price comes from...
its all relative to the labor rates... 4hrs $50 a hour is $200.. lol.. you paid $200 for 1 hour.. that would make them more expensive, but just faster...
