Hours to change springs

How long would a pro mechanic need to change out springs on our turbos...and what do alignments usually run..

I think my OPC charged me 6 hours Inc alignment. I'm running -1.3F/-1.4R, with the GMG springs installed this is the most camber I can get out of the front and the least out of the rear. Toe is set to 0°12'F/-0°03'R

I like this setup for B road driving and the few track days I get in each year. YMMV.

Is that 1.3 degrees front with all original components except the springs? I didn't realize it could be adjusted that far.

Go see Bill Rudtner in Freeport.. not too far from you.

He just did my turbo.. springs and alignment... handles like a new car..

He's a hardcore race car driver, enthusiast, and a terrific resource for anything pcar related.

Yes. Lowering springs allow you to get a little more out both front and rear.
