    Question Lowering Springs Install

    Just wondering what the typical price of a lowering spring install would be at a shop? I would be providing the springs so that cost doesnt have to be factored in.

    $100-200 depending on the shop. It's generally 2-3 hours labour.

    Be sure to factor in the cost of an alignment as well. Generally when you go lower you need to do one.

    Thanks for the replies. I phoned a shop to get a quote and the guy told me 1.5 hr per strut at $86/hr, looks like they arent getting my business lol. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Guelph/Waterloo area?

    Bubba1984 (a member on here) is in Kitchener and charges about $100 to do them in his garage.

    Hyperion also helps guys out with installs, not sure his location these days though.

    Street Performance is the typical place for the TO guys in terms of a shop.

    We do local install days at my place (again KW) every now and then where people can DIY with the proper tools and guidance but I'm pretty busy these days and might not have a chance before the snow flies.

    I messaged him, but his best bet is bubba. Much closer.
