Is the Dealer Messing With Me?

hahaha after reading so many complaints about compressing the springs it was WELL worth the $40 and 30 mins of my time to have them do it.

Thanks gents. I guess I was just expecting it to be much less.

I can handle the swaybars, but my main intention in contacting the dealer was for the springs install. I've heard these can be a real PITA.

Andrew, your figures are in line with what I thought it should be.

I'll shop around and see what I can come up with.

Again, thanks for your input.

That was my estimate on prices... Those aren't GOOD prices but kinda fair prices.
I bought my mechanics a $30 lunch to install my sways, and lifetime alignment through Firestone for $150-160.
