    I'm considering getting the JDM pink STi springs for my
    MY02 WRX sedan. The first installation labor quote that I got
    was $700, not including alignment. Does that seem insanely
    high, or am I just way off base about how much labor would
    be involved?

    I see another thread here mentioning that $500 and $600 is too
    high, so obviously $700 is off. But what's reasonable?

    Thanks for the advice! I'll get in touch.

    Mark from Gruppe-S just told me that they charge
    two hours labor to install those springs. That sounds a lot
    more like what I was expecting. Of course I'd have to drive
    to Hayward, CA which might take the edge off of
    the pricing...

    ^^^ just my opinion but I would not appriceate someone trying to hand out free labor from me to someone else...

    I am not saying the above won't do it for free, but I would think that is there place to say. my 2 cents

    springs arnt to hard, if you have/can get tools and are partially mechnically inclined you might think about doing them yourself. just an idea (sinc eyour labor is free)
