Cost to install Eibach Pro Kit

Im looking at getting the Pro kit for my 300C but was told by my body shop that the installation was a huge pain in the ass and it wouldnt be cheap to have installed. Can anyone give me a good idea on what to expect for installation charges.

I got mine done for $250. Don't know where that falls into range with others' costs.

He was saying that the suspension is a pain in the ass to deal with on 300's and that it took quite a long time to put new springs on because of having to remove several other suspension related parts?? I really have no idea whats involved. Ive owned my 300 for 3weeks now

I had my shop do it and it was done in 4 hours total. Maybe your guy hasn't done a whole lot of them and is not comfortable doing it. 8 hours is ridiculous if you ask me.

My friend is the manager at Midas Muffler and quoted me $100 for the install. Labor only! I would have to take my car somewhere else for the alignment (which you will need after the install). Price was good, but he was also a friend. Here's my Pro-kit, came in yesterday! If you haven't gotten them yet, I would highly suggest Tirerack. Price is very compatible to EBAY price.

I've heard its around $200. Me and a buddy installed mine and it was pretty easy. I could probably do it again in under 2 hours. 8 hours is rediculous!
