after considering many options, i finally decided to purchase a setup very close to the Truechoice Phase 2, but pieced together from various places. Koni spring perch/sleeve etc. from Truechoice, modified Koni Sports from Neuspeed and Eibach ERS springs, 350#F and 250#R, ordered from a small race shop.

i found a shop, that happens to sponsor one of my local autocross groups, that quoted me 4.5 hours labor (at $65 an hour) to install the parts and corner weight the car. so is roughly $300 a fair price for what is being done?

thanks,
phil

 

Just keep in mind that it only takes a shop 1-1.5 hours max to put your suspension in. I would think that it is fair since most speed shops don't actualy charge by the time it takes them to do something or the book price but more like a job price.

two other places i have contacted (that don't have the scales to corner weight) quoted around $140-$150 for installation. and i've heard corner weighting can be $100-$200. so $300 total doesn't seem too bad.

if they take less than 4.5 hours, i wonder if they'll charge labor at $65 for the actual time spent, or if I'll have to agree to the $292.50 ahead of time.

 

It doesn't matter to them how long it actualy takes. If they qouted you 4.5 hours, I would bet that it actauly will take them 2-2.5 hours. More then likely they will charge the full 4.5 hours.
