What is a reasonable labor cost to install new coil springs on mk5 Supra?

[skaletzelt]

I'm kind of new here and I am calling around shops in San Diego to get a quote for installing new coil springs on my mk5 supra. The quotes I am getting range from $850 to $1250. Is this a good range? What is reasonable? I have the coil springs purchased already. I am just trying to get the labor cost to install them. If anyone can recommend a good shop in San Diego I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I was quoted $450 and then just installed them myself. It's not too bad.

Did you call BeeLine in PB? They installed springs in two cars for me over the years.

I did. They said they don't install customer supplied parts. Basically they would only do it if I got the spring through them. So that wasn't an option.

RNZ in Miramar does solid work and relatively cheap. They are car people and you can tell they modify cars themselves. For all mods I can no longer do myself, I go to them. Dennis, the owner does really good work and can do almost anything.

That's very odd because they installed three sets of Eibach springs in my cars and my son's car. The original owner's son was the person who I dealt with.

It looks like they have good reviews. I may check them out when it's time for springs.

$800-$1200 is pretty reasonable, considering the car needs an alignment afterwards. Fronts are pretty easy, rears can be an ass. I figure about 4hrs shop time * $150 + alignment puts you in the $900ish range.

Those prices are ridiculous but it is California so i’m not surprised. I was charged $30.

i know SD_MK would've responded had his supra not been assassinated... maybe his buddies can chime in? excuse me boys, @mokleen @PearlSup @Mimosa901

Just wanted to chime in for people here to let them know and obviously every shop will vary (I do work in a dealership, not toyota) book time it shows for front coil springs is 4.8 to do both and rears are 2 hours plus an alignment. If we were doing it at my shop which is fairly close to 150/hr you can do the math. We charge $120 flat fee for alignments though.

I based those labor times off my 22 that I looked up which shouldn't be any different between the mk5's in general.

4-5 Hours + alighment.

Takes me 2.5-3 hours using quickjacks, total. I charge people $250.
Obviously you'll want to get an alignment after.
