Default Installation cost for springs and exhaust?
Hey guys what's the normal installation costs for these parts? I got quoted $200 for exhaust and $600 for springs. 8 hours labor total. Seems stiff to me...

Way too stiff. Did catback exhaust for $140. Also did spring (swift) install for about $200. Took about 3 hours?

I'd say $100-200 for the exhaust. $200-400 for springs.

Thanks. Heard of him. Wish I lived closer. 1.5 hours there, plus time waiting for the job to be done then driving back. Ugh. May not be worth it Wish I had family nearby then I would just crash there! Lol

You should go by the hours of labor. Should be about 1 hour of labor for the exhaust and maybe 3-4 hours for the springs. That’s how my shop it when I was a mechanic.

Buy new shocks too while you are at it..you are already paying for the labor. Car probably needs it.

ugh..nevermind....thought I was on the IS-F forum.

good point on the shocks. If you buy a shocks and springs set up, the install should be cheaper since it’s only a quick remove and replace.

Having conversation at present w Vivid/Armityz Rep on Both these items. Rates has been discussed for 20166.

Actually love to know if there is a National Labor Rate calculator? Would that be a patent!
