    Re: what is a reasonable price for complete suspension install.

    350'ish if it all goes smoothly (no need to blow torch seized bolts). Then after a week or so, you need an alignment.

    Yeah I have never done any suspension work so I'm afraid of going into it alone. Although I do have access to a lift and all the tools needed

    Well, since 71 X 4 = ~300, which is what most of the other quotes have been, I guess it's not such a big lie, eh?

    then do it..lifts make life so much easier

    i watched my buddy (a VW stealership mechanic who is actually a good friend of mine) installed my springs and it looked really easy and like a very reasonable DIY

    he charged me $20 and a six pack

    Re: what is a reasonable price for complete suspension install.

    If you have the proper tools and equipment, installing springs & shocks is relatively easy. It's only a problem if you encounter unexpected bolts that won't come loose or if you're missing some tool. Four (4) hours for a shop to do it sounds about right. Since you have a lift and tools, I say DIY!

    Re: what is a reasonable price for complete suspension install.

    Springs + shocks is $175 from us.
    Coilovers are $210.

    4-6hours is way too long. They're spending far too much time. Springs + shocks are a 2-2.5 hr job. Coilovers a little longer depending on how difficult height adjusting is for them.
