Good Pricing, or getting ripped off in dallas?

Hey guys. I have a 2001 e320 that i am planning on lowering soon. i have the eibach springs, bilstein shocks, speedy's camber arms, the front repair bolts, and #1 spring pads all around... ready to be put on.... i just need a shop to put them on for me. i've looked all around dallas, was quoted from $560- $1300. Is $560 a fair price? what ballpark range should i shoot for? do i need anything else for the car? any help would be appreciated!

$150 for shocks and springs....double that for the camber arms....add the fact that you're way out there where nobody does it everyday, tack on $100, $400 would be the most.

You can get a good spring compressor for a few hundred bucks and then have the ability to change things as often as you wish. I'd never go back to not having one - it's enabled me to zero in every one of our cars just the way we like each of them to be. Spring pad changes take only a few minutes now and are free of charge

I paid an independant MB specialist around $400 to install the springs and shocks. He probably could have done it quicker if he moved faster than a turtle (I watched).

My buddy is charging me 250 to install h&r springs, #1 pads and shocks at his shop but I was quoted 600 at another shop to do the samething.
