Default RSR Superdown Springs install

Can anyone near Michigan recommend a shop to install lowering springs on my 2013 GS350? Anyone know a mechanic in my area?

Thanks in advance!

So far, 3 shops have quoted me 8 hours labor. This seems very off to me. The search continues...

it really shouldn't take a competent shop anymore than 2-3 hours. I could prob do it in my garage in 2-3 hours.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Are you in my area by any chance?

I will try more shops Wednesday. These post corona prices suck. One reputable shop even quoted me $700 for a muffler delete! WTF???

They are probably using book rate. I had shocks replaced on a bare one Honda Civic and the book rate I believe was greater than 5-hours. You can negotiate with the shop to see if they would cut down the # of hours to charge.

Those prices are outrageous. If you are inclined to DIY, this is a thread for coilover install:

You can use this to get most of the spring install done, just need a spring compressor and know how of its usage.
