Default $672 to install springs?

Shop here quoted me $672 to put in some s-line springs. I think I read around that it should only be about 4 hrs of labor. Is this too high?

Thanks.

That's more along the lines of what I was expecting.

Thanks for the springs, by the way. I got them yesterday.

1-1.5hr per corner... any more than that and you're getting ripped off

but it also depends on how much they charge per hour... expect $100 per hour from dealer then 600 bones easy... Indy shop... say 50-60/hr... no more that 300-360...

sounds high to me. I paid under $400 for shocks + springs + alignment.

Where in the world are you at?

I just emailed them back making sure they wren't quoting me the parts + labor. I re-read my original email and maybe it wasn't so clear that I already had the springs.

Atlanta...right now i'm just trying to find a shop that knows Audi, specifically the C6 A6. I have a few mods I want to get done and I don't have the knowledge or skill to do it myself.
