Actually probably not.

The best way to get a discount from Exact is from the discount coupons handed out at the one, or maybe two selected meets sponsored by LGWNorCal throughout the year. The annual EOS Meet is always where those coupons are sure to go out.

I also tend to think repeat customers get better deals. Don't ask me how I know.

When i was looking to get my springs installed on the SC exact actually had the best prices around. I paid 300 but that was half of what some shops were charging me and a 3rd of the price that others quoted! Exact definitely does quality work though and they've made a repeat customer of me for sure.

I dont think thats such a high price. Consider the amount of labor involved. ISx50's are exactly the easiest to work on haha. It took me a couple hours to do my own springs. Dont ask what a dealer would charge haha.
