Looking for a shop to install suspesion

im kinda on the budget at the moment and looking for some shop that can give me the best price on installing strut/shocks and lowering springs(that i already bought).
so far the lowest one i found is willing to do the labour for $400+tax

i know the price is probably gonna be in that area but maybe any private shops are willing to do it for lower?

thanks

PZ Installed my shocks and springs over two years ago and I havent had a single issue at all. Price was resonable and service was great.

This is where you type a bunch of shit about how awesome your car is. FACT: It's been scientifically proven that the more shit you write in here the less cool your car is. Nine times out of ten the majority of people who talk shit down here don't even have any of the crap they talk about on their car. I drive an 8 year old domestic and barely give two shits about it. I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.

You sure its 228.00 with tax for anyone who comes in ? I just came from PZ not less than 30 minutes ago. THe lady at the Cashier quoted me about 320 for the SKUNK 2 coilovers for my 98 4cyl Honda accord. She told me if i bought them TODAY and TODAY only would the installation be discounted and offered at 200 +tax (228 w/ tax) . thats cuz i would have bought the springs from pZ. But she said any other day it would be closer to 300 +tax for INSTALL ONLY?

So are you sure on that price now?

I almost bought the springs today but the price quoted on the kyb gr-2's was a bit too much for me...............

maybe they didn't get the memo

since neither of the shops can do alignments, does anyone know a reputable place that do alignments for fair prices on lowered cars (coilovers)

its sales tactics. its the same reason every price tag in their store says "SALE" on it all year round, it makes you feel like you're getting a deal. i bet if you go back a week later you'll get the same price.
