Default Average Costs for fitting Prodrive springs

I want to get prodrive springs fitted to my 06 wrx.

just got off the phone from prosport.

they want £530.00 to supply and fit the spring and a 4 wheel alignmnet setup.
the total labour is 4hrs

is that about average. or should i get the springs and get a local garage to fit them and do a 4 wheel alignment.

many thanks

Jamie

Heard Elite will only fit their own springs btw....?

Ask 4 Barry, great guy.....

Mocom Racing (look at top banner in Essex Scooby Crew) also do fitment and alignment to how you want the car to handle.......

I paid about £380 fitted inc VAT at dealers. Get the alignment done else where, my dealer took the money and clearly didn't bother with the alignment. Had it checked a month later and it was completely out.

To fit springs and / or change struts (both require complete removal from vehicle) we'd charge £300.00 including the alignment to suit your requirements and more importantly vat.
This equates to 4hrs @ £55.00 + £80.00 for the alignment
