Best shop to get my shocks/springs done?

Anyone recommend a good shop that won't charge me an arm and a leg?

I was going to go to BC shock and strut to get everything put in, I think they said something like 180 bucks cash for everything.

Anywhere else?

Matt and Payam put in my Koni's and if I remember correctly, they were cake. The fronts are not so easy...I had them installed at a shop as well as my Eibach's...and was charged $175 cash. If you were quoted $180 for everything, and if they stand by their work, I think that's a very good price.

When I had my truckI went to BC Shock and they did good work. Honest, good work and not that expensive. I will probably take my car to them when the time comes. Pay in cash as they couldn't cut me quite as good deal with my CC.

if you are doing the shocks and springs then the whole job is easy. all you have to do is take out the whole assembley and put in the new one in the front, and in the rear for shocks and springs shoud take no longer then 1/2 an hour and say 1 1/2 hours for the front. i only found it a pain in the *** to try and get the old sturt loose from the spring on the front so i could use the old ones
