Default How much$$$$ does the average coilover install cost???

I just recieved my Adjustable coilovers today and was wondering how much it would cost to have them installed (estimated) im on the East coast since that seems to make a difference.....


Let me know

Thanks guys

And would it be easy to install them instead? I dont want to screw up....or have the right tools

I dont know how much coilovers would cost to install but another option is spend what you would on the install on some tools(metric assuming it is a honda) and a jack(if you dont have your factory one or dont want to make it take five minutes to jack it up to a workable height) and some stands. Do it yourself, do a search on here for a DIY coilover how to and take your time.

In my opinion it is not a "hard" job, sometimes it can take a little while. If it is your first time and you take your time you should be able to finish in an 8 hour day(could be alot less time) unless you run into problems (needing misc hardware or other glitches that may recquire you to run to a parts store)

I was charged $100 to install my GC sleeve/spring coilovers (Las Vegas, NV). It was a long time ago (befor I knew how to do everything myself). It isn't hard to do, but I don't think they come with instructions. You won't be able to reuse the dust sheilds that were on your shocks, but I think that is the only real difference. The lower shock bolt can be a total Bitch to remove, so look that up (probably 100 threads on just that). Use a good/safe spring compressor (rent from your local autoparts store), and you should be set.

I've asked around in phoenix for estimates, and so far: $175, $225 and $250 have been the results. I even had one that was $500... I just laughed it off
