    I am waiting for my H&R springs to come in for my 2011 legacy 3.6R and I am wondering where would be a good place in St paul or even east of st paul to get them installed. Thanks!

    It's Bloomington. And Jeff is worth the extra 10 miles you'll drive to get there.

    Ok...So Jeff must be out of town or very busy. I emailed him Thursday and called him this morning and no response. I called a shop in White Bear Lake, and they wanted $1100 for swapping springs and alignment!! I have always done them myself but that was on cars that cost less money and I didnt care, so I am nervous to it myself. $1100 is crazy

    $1100 is crazy. If it was me, I'll do it myself and get it aligned by Jeff. He's done all my cars. Dudes a genius with that type of stuff.

    ill do the springs for 500 lol and that would include the air compressor I would have to buy. When I was working at the last shop I was at we charged 50 a spring and if we were replacing the struts it was 50 more total.

    Unless your car has 15 corners, that should be $360?

    $70 x 4 (front driver and passenger which is two, then rear driver and passenger which is another two). That's $280. Plus $80 for alignment, that's $360.

    Unless I'm forgetting something.
