Does this seem right yall?

Called local shop for eibach springs and KYB struts its $1000.24 (includes parts, labor, allignment)
They gave me another price with KONI struts which are adjustable. $1222 total
That seems very high pricing or is it just me?

KYB Gr2 struts--$213.28 (all four)
Eibach Pro kit-- $238.83
TOTAL $452.11 where the hell does installation and alignment add another $5-600
Those prices are off of nopi.com

I have the same setup but I purchased my struts and springs off ebay and had them installed at a local shop. Installation was $150CDN + tax and the alignment was $80CDN + tax.

rip off man. i got my eibach struts and springs recently from ebay (qualifiedjapaneseparts) and the total for both shipped was $600 from Cali. The installation for everything was $200.

For $1000,you could get the Pro Complete Kit long with the sway bars.

Good question ... I would say a few hundred miles, maybe not 500, just to let the kit settle itself, but even after a few hundred miles it'll continue to settle, I don't know how much time it takes but my girlfriend springs took nearly 6 months until it finally stop dropping (nothing big, maybe 1/4 inches in the last 4 months) ...

We have all the tools you need in the site tools listing.

It's easy to do.

That is way too much for even the parts mang.

As for alignment, whatever.

I've been driving on my struts/springs for what, 2 months now? No alignment done? I've got no wobble, no uneven tire wear, no pulling, nothing.

It is VERY easy to do, just takes some time.

Tibbytib has a DIY up on the site, check it out mang.

Ask HKC, he'll set you up, he just posted about his Eibach spring/dampner setup, think it was 500 or cheaper, shipped.

TRUST me, you WANT the eibach dampners.

I'd never done them before either, or even helped someone, and I did it easily. Ran into a few small problems, but all were easily fixed.
