Default How much does it cost to lower a GS350?

I'm getting bashed about not wanting to pay 5hrs worth of labor ($425) for the installation of my coilovers. Because I've lowered cars before and never has it taken me more than 1-1 1\2 hrs tops to lower a car. Is $100 bucks not fair?

yeah 150 sounds like "norm". of course it's about region, socal always have cheaper labor

but 5 hours to install coilovers, that's retarded

Springs & Install for $350 is a decent deal. As for coilovers, which you should have, expect to pay around 1200-1400 for them. On L-Tuned its around 14XX or so the last time I checked and it included free shipping. Just PM a few sponsors and get a quote, sometimes they discount club members.
