Hi all,

Just thought i'd start a thread to get an idea of average prices paid out there to get some lowered springs fitted. I have my own springs already and just looking for a reputable workshop in sydney to fit the springs on for me.

I called around for some quotes today, and was getting quoted anywhere from $395 onwards. I even got one alarming quote today for a whopping $700 from Pedders in Blacktown! (that was just for them to fit my own supplied springs!) i thought this labour charge was ridiculous, so just wanted to get an idea of what a fair price would be for this kind of labour, and also recommended workshop in sydney to get this done.

Its not Sydney, but here in Melbourne you'll pay $375 for King Springs supplied and fitted at a reputable workshop that Ive used numerous times.

Those quotes are crazy. Wheel alignment included?

Most were quoting an additional charge for the alignment, including the $700 quote i got from Pedders in Blacktown. Most places wanted extra for this.

A set of coil compression clamps are like <$50 give yourself 3 or 4 hours spare and do it yourself it's not that hard.

+1 its a good learning process, plenty of good walkthroughs on legacygt although its pretty self-explanatory what needs to be unbolted etc...

mate who i did mine with might be willing to do yours, ill see if he's keen

What Mat04 said.. Some people just lack the tools to do the job

The Pedders quote you got wasn't out of the ordinary. i got quoted 850 plus 360 for the springs and no wheel alignment. they suck

I think you might find it pretty common to get quoted a couple of hours labour to install self supplied springs.
They dont get out of bed for nothing these days.

Im getting mine installed in a week ive got two main quotes both in Castle Hill one from "Just car parts" they quoted $220 and MRC castle Hill quoted $450 with alignment

I ended up getting the springs fitted for $350 at Pedders Granville, not including alignment. I was happy with this price considering some of the ridiculous quotes I had been getting prior.

The guys at Granville really took care of my ride and did a really professional job. Overall really happy with their work, and their service.

Here's a pic of my new ride after the install... 40mm drop all round on H&R Springs... (btw, not liberty specific)

Tein S Techs supplied and fitted for $500
