cost of installing springs should it be this high??

A shop that I used often with my E92 M3 is quoting me about $715 to install the H&R springs on my 2010 Panamera S. Does that sound right to you guys??? seem really high to me.

I deal with the owner directly and he mention that all the data that he has shows that to install the springs it would take 3hrs for the front (1.5hrs per side) and 2hrs per side on the rear.

Any input would be appreciated.

Does it include alignment after the springs settle?

I would most likely charge 550+ alignment. Book time shows 2.5 hours front / 3 hours rear.

Just realized you're in Charlotte. Give Matt a call at Evolution Auto Salon in Indian Trail. Great guy and great work. He installed my springs.
