Hi all
I'm having a shop install the Eibach springs. I know the fronts are longer to install with the struts. What time would all 4 take?

Working with my mechanic, we did it in an hour and a half. The rear springs are really easy.

What your shop bills in labor hours and how long it actually takes are two different things.

Considering they are legit. It would be the actual work hours.
The other thing is I know they have the hydraulic compressor at their other location because this garage is too small to mount the unit on the wall. There're going to use the manual tool they have IF they can.

Got it done. 450.00 dollars later. But I'm happy with the results.

Shop will usually Charge between $400 - $750 to do the install and you have to get it aligned after.

Wow. Thought 450 was alot. Also Getting an alignment in 2 weeks.
BTW...which brand of springs gives a more factory rake?
Seems the Eibach has a slight rake.
