flat rate to change both coils is 2.2h (the same procedure would be used to install spacers). I would add 0.2h to change shocks and another 0.2h to change two control arms. AAL is good for 1h. Total of 3.6h, i charge $60/h so the total would be $216.00 + tax.

Dang I wish you were out west. I haven't heard of labor that cheap for ten years. At least I have something with which to compare now. Thank you.

IDK if they are longer or not but I never put them on.

More like you should take a road trip. Don't forget your pass port.
