labor charge for installing new springs?
How much should I expect to pay to have new springs installed on my 2004 rx8?

Thanks

Drive up to Pensacola and I'll do it for $100. Should only take an hour or two, tops.

Do you always do an alignment when you install new springs?

You DEFINITELY need an alignment after installing springs. If not, you're gonna wear the crap out of the tires.

Spring compressors are only like $30, BTW. Worth owning. Typically you only need them to remove the stock springs - aftermarket springs are barely compressed when you put the assembly together.
