DIY man, I did my first suspension on my own car and had no problems, just make sure you have the necessary tools and a helms\haynes manual before you start. If thats not an option then yeah, that is a good price. I have friends that have paid from 200-350 for a spring/shock and coilover/shock install.

seems alittle pricey. jsut get some friend that are alittle knowledgeable and get them to help you ont he install. it should be too hard.

the cheapest shops here do it is $140 which is still a lot more than i'd pay to have it done. my new shocks should be here in a couple days and decided to just do it myself. do it on a weekend day and take your time.

i was quoted at 150 for mine to be put in....i had some friends do it that had spring compressors, lift, yada yada..... if you dont know what your doing i would suggest making friends with someone that does and do it over one weekend.....and let your bolts sit in penetrating oil over night it helps alot.....i have seen someone break some bolt head doing it themselves without trying to loosen the bolts first...big mess

Its a fun little project man, get your hands dirty. You will be happy after you finish knowing exactly what happened during the install. I don't trust hardly any mechanics on my car, pretty much only honda mechanics and even them I'm a little skeptical about sometimes.
