320 is a little high is it four all four? since you are only getting springs they have to take your old assembly apart reassembble then put it back together it's a pain in the @ss buy a spring compressor for $50 get a case of beer $12 call a buddy over and have fun

if u can id try to do it yourself, i did them on everyother car ive owned, gonna try to tackle it on the evo too, but then again i dunno if im going full coilover =/
anyways most id pay is 200 . thats the usual rate ive seen for cars, the only time ive seen ppl get charged more if its a car that wasnt meant for sport springs and it was a very difficult process. but were talking about the evo here

I am sorry you felt the quote was out of line, but I make no apologies for paying my techs what they are worth and charging fairly for their services. We will offer discounts and things of that nature from time to time, and perhaps specials on things like spring installs, intakes, suspension, etc. We have been so busy getting the shop up and running that I haven't had time to put together any specials or to finalize pricing on basic jobs like spring installs. Until I do, our only accurate means of quoting is the industry standard labor guides (such as a regular service shop would use). Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Yeah, the book isn't ideal in a lot of ways (as this situation clearly illustrates), but until I get a chance to hammer out some pricing for jobs like this, it is the only way we have to make sure our pricing is consistent no matter who you talk to when someone calls down here.
I appreciate the support as we get the shop setup and all sorted out. I am more than happy to discuss possible price matching based on quotes given by other reputable shops in the area. Just give me a call and we can talk about it.

For a lot of people, cheapest price isn't their first criteria when choosing a shop to build/tune/service their car. They are looking for high quality service/people they can trust, and a shop that stands behind their work. That is what we offer.
