Default H & R Coilover Install???

My local shop told me that it would take 8 hours to install my H&R coilovers...Does this sound right?
At $89/hour that equals a lot of dosh!

Default pretty simple.......

just takes some care...you need a spring compressor, mostly for the fronts.

if its an ultra perf. you really need one hee he, as there is more spring rate.

I have pics from a koni guide of an install i can fax or email...let me know!

Default ND seems to extend labor times for some reason . . .

They want people to leave their cars for the WHOLE DAY just to have a cat-back exhaust put on. Just an observation.
