Question Fair price to install lowering springs?
I'm contemplating whether or not to do an install for a local here. I don't want to over charge the guy, but don't want to short change myself either. What do you guys think a fair price is for a spring install?

do them yourself and save that cash towards other mods, they are not hard to do. just basic tools, but to answer your question here in texas they charge 50 a wheel.

$50 for the rears, and $50 a front corner, Make sure the customer knows you will likely have to cut his stockers and ruin them if the nut is seized/rounded.

Thumbs up
Thanks for the replies guys. I know how to install them, and I personally wouldn't pay someone to install a set, I just didn't want to over charge the guy.

I would say $140 to $150 would be fair as long as there are no issues with the fronts.

1 extra-large combination pizza.
1 large bag of (salted) tortilla chips, and salsa.
12 pack of coke.
4 /40oz bottles of Bud-Ice.

For now this is my price!

You've got the West coast covered, I'll match that price on the East coast, but they're in Texas! I figured the only difference there would be hotter salsa.

Eh, I'd also take a few boxes of JHP 9mm ammo.
