Sping install? No idea.

But if you mean springs, you're looking at around 1hr per wheel well + alignment. 6 hours sounds about right.

modded997S,

We are located in south florida. Deerfield Beach to be exact.

We charge $ 100.00 per hour for labor. Generally we would charge for 4 hours of labor plus alignment. I have H&R springs in stock for your Cayman S. They list for
$ 272.00.

Our technician is a Porsche Master Tech and we scan the car with a PIWIS (Porsche Factory Scan Tool) tester with every install for free.

If you would like send me an email and I can send you an offer for total including tax so you know exactly where you stand from our point of view.

Thanks in advance for your time,
Rhonda

I got mine done with technician (not dealer) in 4.5 hrs. Costs $500...which is half of what dealer would charge. I think they do $1000-1200 with an alignment. You provide the spring of course. I love the way it handles with h&r spring.

Thats a really good Price Rhonda@FVD is offering .I have seen this H&R install cost between 500.00 to 1000 for Just the labor alone then springs and allignment on top of that .I paid $745.00 for the whole enchalada and it took 8 hours .The shop manager who gave me the estimate under-estimated the labor and told me to tell my fellow Cayman owners it would be $300.00 more for any one else .I bought the shop 5 Pizzas to cure my guilt .100% happy with the H&R's 2 years running .If Rhonda@FVD is close to your home that is a smoking deal !!!
