I could see a mechanic charging $200-300 for springs and another $100 for the camber kit. So yeah, you probably overpaid compared to what other people here are paying, but it all depends on how long it took the shop and what their labor rates are. Some are just flat out more expensive than others.

What is your shop's hourly rate, like $150/hour?
You are also entitled to a written estimate, you didn't request one before all this work?

Prices may vary from shop to shop, that's why your supposed to shop around or ask others in your area who have had work done, to make sure you're not paying more than you need too. |

You can only be angry at yourself for not asking them for a quote. That's why you get quotes from a few shops before dropping off the car.
