Default going rate to install k-sport coil overs... what are others paying?

i wouldn't say just for k-sports, but i guess to remove your suspension and install the coilovers, what are you guys normally paying (who aren't doing it themselves)? I was given a price of 300 bucks or so to install the k-sports i ordered. this is to be installed at the same placed i bought my wheels at (360forged) and will include adjustment once the wheels are mounted.

any ideas? thanks all.

Damn, just your install price for your K-sports is what I paid for my complete set of GC's.


Then again, i got a good deal on a very clean set of used ones.
I look forward to seeing your setup when you complete it

i couldn't find GCs under 450 + shipping and i got the k-sports for 875 shipped. for a couple hundred bucks more i'd rather replace the stock shocks for some 36 way dampering type.

AND, the k-sports drop lower. i want to tuck my split sevens.

i haven't gotten anything less than 200 to install any springs/suspension on this car, and for a hundred bucks i'd rather have their guy do it and be able to mount the wheels on at the same time, drop the car off the jack, determine best height, adjust, drop car, adjust if needed, etc. oh yeah, and assure no rubbing as they promised.

So you did end up getting some? Nice. Looking forward to your feedback. Who'd you end up buying them from?

Has anyone installed the KSport coilovers yet?
If yes, how is it?
I'm still looking to further improve suspension....
