How much to install Tein Basics
How much do you think it should cost to install Tein Basics on our cars? I just got my basics yesterday and I have been calling around getting quotes for the install:
My 1st quote was $600 for install
My 2nd quote was $900 for install and alignments
What ball park number should I be looking at to spend on install? I would love to do this myself but I dont have the tools or the know how to do it. Also anyone have any recommendations on what I should do?
Thanks!

Yeah, I would have to agree. 600 is ridiculous, 900 is asking for a punch in the face. 250-350 for install depending on the shop and 60 or so for an alignment would be about right.

...try taking it to a small mom n pop type of shop. They will more than likely do it for a lot cheaper. Also, it most likely wont be mobbed with people and tech's running around and you can watch the guy, and make sure he hand tightens the control arms bolts, drops the car and THEN torques them tight.

Here in cincy there arent any real shop to take your car to to get stuff done. There are maybe 1 or 2. So they can charge whatever they want and it sucks. I just wish I knew how to do this ****! Its getting frustrating!
