Price on lowering springs

[DAN MCGRAW]

I took my car to a speed shop today , for a price on installing lowering springs. He said that it is a pain in the butt job,that the labor is about 300.00 . I asked him if I need to replace the shocks and struts at the same time , he said no. The second thing I asked him was if he could change the gears to 4.10 . He told me that he would not do the gears , to hard of a job . Guys is this alot of labor for putting in the new springs ? Also is installing new gears that hard of a job ? The work will be done on my 97 cobra .

Not that much for installing the springs, but it isn't a 'pain in the butt'. Maybe on a 99-up car with the IRS. Yours is a straight-forward job. And if he's scared to do springs, don't worry about asking him to do a rear gear swap. See about finding a different mechanic or speed shop.

I recall paying about $250 labor to have my lowering springs installed.

Good luck,
Brian

I think my springs were around $185 to install. It sounds like this guy don't want the job or he don't know WTF he is doing. I wouldn't even trust him doing a gear job as he would prob. just "slap" the gears in and not even "shim" them/line them up right.
I'm not sure you care for Steeda but I think they are down in Miami. I would think you could trust them on doing the stuff right -even though you may pay a little higher "hourly rate" for labor...
Good Luck :thumbsup:

We charge 200 for the springs on your car, and 150 for gear install, just to give you an idea of what it should cost. And the spring job takes about 2 hours to do tops
thanks
