installing them? well, me and a buddy can do em in a garage without a lift in under an hour. Base your labor costs off that.

The higest quote I got was $250. But after searching around, I got them done for $95.
Those are US prices of course.

little different with our cars. The whole spring/strut assembly has to come out. No spring clips.
Undo 2 bolts/1 nut at top strut mount. 2 bolts lower perch. remove assembly.
Use spring compressor on fronts. rears don't need it. |

$10 for use of a stall and all the tools I could get my hands on, at the auto hobby shop on base. Oh, there is a lift in each stall.

all the tools are included when you pay for the stall. That's kind of nice.
