Looking at shops for coilover installs in Seattle/Portland

CMT206 · 07-03-2017, 11:34 AM

Been getting a couple quotes for coilover kit installs - some Seattle and Portland shops. Right now most are hovering around $1,100 for install, including alignment.

Based on my research online, this seems to be a bit high but maybe that is just the rate nowadays?

Looking for some additional Portland/Seattle options or maybe I need to look at more "general" type shops - ie not specific to euro cars?

That's about the same quote I got from my BMW/MINI specific indie. He said it would be around 2k for all four corners including labor. That was for H&R struts and Bilstein springs. Don't think it included alignment though. Dynasport in PDX.

Sorry if this is late. Have you tried Tru-Line in Seattle or Bellevue? The Bellevue shop installed my Bilstein B-12 kit and Dinan camber plates with an alignment for under $800.

DIY? This is ridiculously easy! If I had a garage, I'd do it for $250 and a 6er of my choosing
