labor cost on replacing springs and shocks on a 96-98 civic coupe?? How much were u charged?
I have some ground control coilover's and some KYB agx shocks and was wondering how much you guys have been charged to get new shocks and springs installed on your 96-98 civic ex coupe.
Im thinking about 300maybe but im just wondering so LMK what springs and shocks u had put on and how much u got charged.

Your replacing your stock shocks/springs with new shocks and coilovers? Dude, you could do it yourself with hand tools a jack and a jack stand in your driveway.
If you take it to a shop, it shouldn't be much more than a couple hundred though. All they are doing is pulling out one set and putting in a new set. With air tools, its a 30 minute job, tops.

Re: (central_driver)
your not going to get many replies about people going some where to get ripped off, people are on here to do it themselves, suspension is so easy, for $300 you can get yourself some nice tools at sears and do it yourself, and have tools leftover

Most shops wont install customers parts. They normally require that you use their parts. Lets say they were used, or the new ones are defective and they break, you could go back after them for labor problems, and they would be in a bind not being able to back up their products since they arent theirs.

thats good to know
if they say something like 250 or 300 ill be like is that the lowest u can go because i was quoted 40 to 50bucks each coilover and shock at this other place and see if they go for it but im sure they would charge me cheap. ill find out tomorrow and post it up. thanks for the comments.
and turner7205, the shop i go to is all run by themselfs. its just a couple of guys (1 used to work at a honda dealership) and they just bought the place and started doing jobs for people they are pretty good with what they do tho.
