Labor time for install
Hi everyone,
I got quoted today, from 2 different shops, to install Eibach Springs and KW H.A.S coils. One shop is my go to for 6 years. The other is their competitor up the road. For the Eibach springs the time quoted was 9-11 hours. For the KW coils it was 7.5-10 hours. They're going by what's in the book, that's for sure. However, is it really accurate that it takes this long? I've never heard of a spring install taking this long. Coils, even though I think is still long, it's not out of this world. Thoughts? Thanks everyone. |

Hi. I can’t comment on hours of install however I have been quoted £300/$375 to have springs fitted by a very reputable company in the UK who have their own f90 as a shop car.
Those install times seem rather unrealistic unless they’re counting 2/3 people’s time for the install |

Not an apples to apples comparison, but I had my H&R springs installed in approximately 3 hours.

Will ask a couple more shops. They use excuses about how it takes hours to relieve the spring tensions and then compress them again during install. |
