Default Cheap Shop for Spring Installation

Just got some RCE yellows and some saggy rear butt spacers today and was siked untill I called advaced performance who said they charge $300 toatal at $75 an hour. How the fuck is it an hour a wheel with power tools. So w/e not going there. So does anyone know of a good shop that installs springs for cheap and when I say cheap I mean under $200 atleast. I remember a shop on kennedy that went out of business that was charging $100. Ah those were the days.........

Do you have the time or the tools to do it yourself? Subarus are pretty easy to swap springs.

What are you whining about? You got two quotes, no shop has over charged you. Somethings needs to be done alright, we should start a revolution. You grab the Snap-On truck and I'll meet you at the river side .
