$120 to put on lowering springs
I am getting my springs in a couple of weeks so i am checking on prices to put them on. i found a place that will put them on for 120 and give me a alignment for free when they settle. does that sound about right or sould i keep lookin for a better deal?

The $120 is a great deal especially with an alignment. You'll have WAY more FUN with black yaris though!

the beer and pizza is before the work, just to make it interesting.....
spring install is not all that hard though.... I did the rears in like 5 minutes, fronts took about an hour or so

Top Notch!

$120 is a great deal for a shop to do the work. Keep in mind, most shops including mine charge between $60-$90 per hour for labor, plus a minimum lift time of $40 an hour.
Business need to make money just as everyone else in this world. For $120, I'd pay that if I didnt do all my own work. If you drove it to Seattle I would charge you $100 :) |

Dude...$120 is a helluva deal. Go to the dealership and ask them 'how much.' You'll see how great a deal this is then.

I paid $150 for my install and then the alignment was $35. So, yes $120 is a great price.
