Spring install cost help!! Boston

so i got a set of H&R's for the summer and plan on throwing some struts in after the stock ones go. I've called around and all the places around the Boston area are saying it's 600 to 1400 to install SPRINGS. this isn't including the alignment either. Seems completely absurd to me because my 350z had literally the ENTIRE suspension replaced (including bushings, control arms etc.) for that cost.

is there a shop within 50 miles of Boston that will do it for like a few hundred bucks plus the alignment?? or less if that's all it takes?? all the guys from cali on this forum seem to say it's a couple hundred dollars to have springs put in so whats up with Boston????

thanks for input

I haven't been around in a long time since I've been traveling, but EuroSport Performance in Wakefield, MA was always good to me.


:edit: ah, spoke too soon. They don't do alignments, but FasTrack Automotive in Peabody, MA does. I always get tires mounted by them.

Have you tried Ace Performance Tuning in Tewksbury? I rely on them for my routine service and they did my suspension mods at a very reasonable cost. Call Baer Connard at 978-710-3116. Tell him Paul with the Space Gray 128 with M3 suspension bits sent you.

That's way too high....been quoted from $400 - $500 range from multiple shops. Easily can be done with a friend's help and couple of beers and then go get alignment afterwards.
