My new springs are sitting in the garage for a month already. I have called couple of to dealerships and got shocked. Serramonte springs install + alignment $976.00 (6 hrs.) and Putnam $850 (5.5 hrs.). Did anybody use dealers in Bay Area for the install, what was the total? Those quotes are very discouraging. My car is under original and extended warranty; I really would like to use the official installer. I would never lower but my car does not look right on 19s.
go to part source rent a spring compressor for free then all it takes is a jack and a few large sockets and about 1 hour per wheel.
word of help: If u see the spring compressor slipping point away from the car and run like fu$$#ck.
I have done 5 spring/ coilover install for friends its not rocket science

Thank you guys
I went to my friend’s shop in SF. $550 including everything. Picking up my car tomorrow. Looks like it is going to cost me even less now as he cannot do an alignment. He said that there is no way to attach sensors to my HR2s. I love my new wheels but there are so many issues, no auto-wash, no alignment, what else. I cannot wait to drive my moded car as a week ago I saw a guy shaking his head while looking at my “SUV” on the intersection.

I don’t know much about alignment equipment but from what I saw at the dealer, big square white (wireless or Laser???) sensor needs to be attached to each wheel to detect its alignment. Please don’t flame me for luck of that knowledge as I am more of a PC mechanic (my other expensive hobby).
