Default Labor for spring install with camber bolts
I was quoted at $170 today for a spring/camber bolt install. Is this what you guys would expect to pay? I'm going to check around some more but just thought I would get some more opinions.

All four corners? Sounds good to me. About 1/2 hour per corner @ $85/hr. Pretty reasonable, imo. It's what it should have been for my install if a couple bolts weren't total PITA's, plus we were on our backs for some of the work. Air tools came in super handy here...would have taken me all weekend if it weren't for them.

Wow, $85/hr? It's somewhere in the $65 neighborhood down here.

Should I let them settle for a day before aligning?

You dont have to. Don't drive more than a few miles with out an alignment. You risk unevenly wearing your tires.
