H&R Spring installation

SoFlo335 · 01-22-2008, 04:37 PM

Hey, about how long does it take to install the springs on a 335 coupe, if you have al the right tools? I have one local shop telling me that it's ~5hrs and are charging me $450 for labor and then I have another shop telling me that its more around ~3-3.5hrs and are charging me ~$300 for labor....

TIA

Correction: The other shop also told me 5hrs... So, is that about right?

5 hrs is too long. If you have all the tools and know what you're doing, it should only take about 2-3 hours.

I don't know about you guys, but I ALWAYS get charged $80 for my spring installations at my local shop.
