i bought some eibach lowering springs for my 2003 clk500, and i was wondering, how much should i expect to pay for labor? There is an independent Mercedes workshop that said they can do it for 200-250. does that sound right, and ofcourse $100 extra for alignment after that. Also, would i need adjustble camber arms for the rear, or is it not that big of a deal with the eibachs... I was about to get the H&R springs, but if heard that eibachs go better with stock struts, so i opted for the eibachs.

installation is around $250-300 so its a normal price... I dont think u need the cambe rkits altho it is a good idea

I have H&R on mine and the tire wear is perfect. you won't need a camber kit.

no thats normal price...my shop quoted me $250 for the installation and $75 (hook up) for the alignment and the car will be in the shop tomorrow. I also have Eibach just like your.

I am getting raped up here in Rochester, NY...

I just received the Eibach kit and I have called every Euro specialist in my city... they are all BS'ing me with $600 - $700 bucks on the install, saying it a F'ing 6-7 hour project.

WTF!!!

I dont know where to go from here???

its not worth it if u have to pay that much, u rather buy coilovers, or leave it stock... i personally wouldnt pay more than 250.

They are trying to rip you off. Try calling a high performance import shop and see how they charge. It should only be around $200-300 max. When I owned a performance shop, that was the usual rate that I would charge. The fronts are Macpherson struts which are easier to take off than double wishbone suspensions, and should only take about an hour per side. The rear springs are seperate from the rear shocks so these look like they can be removed by jacking the rear of the vehicle up and letting the rear suspension hang. Then get a pry bay and remove the springs. They are quoting you a high rate because it's "Euro".
