    now if you want it cheaper i know another place that would do it for maybe 100.00 to 150.00 but i will have to find out tomorrow. that is all i know forthe DC area.
    Well guys/gals, I finally took my springs to this place "Quality Tire" and they are awsome!! Their prices are by the job, not hour, so they quoted me $175 (tax included) and initially 2Hrs. Guess what, I dropped it off, and they called me in about 45 min (expecting problems), but they were done, no joke. I guess these guys realize that the faster they finish, the more jobs they can get, and the more income they get (instead of gouging you with hours). 100+% HAPPY.

    yeah - I did mine myself and I'm no mechanic, but I can honestly say, the first time I did 'em it did take me a while, maybe like 2 hrs for the front and 2 hrs for the back, but now that I know how to do it, (and I'm no mechanic) I could probably do the whole job in like 2-3 hrs - so a shop shouldn't charge more than that - by no means.....cuz I don't have a lift, and I"m no professional....
