Cost- installation of springs

Does anyone know how much it generally cost to install lowering springs--either Eibach or Techart?? Is this a DIY project? Thank you.

It's a few hours plus an alignment . Some have been quoted 8 hrs , others less . I never modified only one part at a time. I don't recall.
I found it best to buy five items and talk price on multiple mod installation . I liked it , the tuner likes it, my wallet debates it --long term its cheaper because eventually it all ends up on your car anyway.

My price was equivalent to 500-600 USD so your estimate is spot on for install and alignment IMO

What is the difference in the cost of springs vs coilovers?
Thanks

It would cost the same or a tad less less since coilovers contain the spring and shock assembly as a single unit; lowering springs on the other hand require compressing/removing the OEM spring and then compressing/mounting the lowering spring.

The job is the same amount of work, you will pay more if you corner balance your car when installing the Coil Overs

I was qouted 500 including the springs (eibach), that is without alignment. Alignment should run about another $100
