Question Lowering Springs

Does anyone know what I should expect to pay to have the dealer install Mopar 1" lowering springs on my car?

Thanks xCDx.

Did they have to do an alignment afterwards?

Dealer aftermarket work = lot's of money

See if you can find a reliable shop to do the work. I'll bet the quote you'll get will be alot cheaper!

I paid about $200 also. They usually tell you to drive it for a couple thousand miles to let the springs settle. Then get the alignment. I just helped install 2 sets of springs this weekend. When I need new shocks, I'll be doing my own.

Yes, I did the alignment afterwards Stockholm......Alignments cost vary depending on where you go. Prices are around $50-100.

I watched them install my springs and the front was easy, but the rear took them a long time.

It took 2 guys to install the springs.

If you've never done it before, I wouldn't suggest doing it yourself. I actually thought that the back was pretty easy, once I saw how everything came apart, but it is time consuming.
