I paid $300 in NY. That's the cheapest I found. All other shops tried charging $350-$400

I think it would be of better help if we post the quote based on hours and hourly rate.

When I did my coilovers i was quoted 2 hours, @ $60/hr = $120

I would assume a spring install would be quicker, about 1-1.5 hours, 2 hours tops...

I was quoted $300 by Carboy in Houston. To me, that is EXCESSIVELY high. I know this is a 2-3 hour job... Same basics as a Supra spring install (couple bolts on top, one on bottom, push down on suspension, swap springs...)

Soooooo, I'm deciding what to do now...

Is it $300 w/ alignment? Cause if so, it's slightly high but not too bad...
