I am thinking of buying H-sports for my ride and was wondering what the going rate should be to have a shop install them.

I haven't shopped around for installation prices, rather was looking for a ballpark number here first to take with me on my hunt.

In case it matters, I own a 04 Cooper, stock suspension and live in California.

Thanks

~$75/hr x3 (should not take more than 2.5hr - 3hrs)

 

I just did it myself and it's not that hard to do. All I had was hand tools and the job took about 4 1/2 hours. It was my first time so I spent a lot of extra time triple checking my work. I would recommend doing it yourself and saving some money.

You could check the past pulley parties on the Randy Webb's Forum and see how much Randy charges as a reference..

 

it cost me $150.00 for the installation and another $99.00 for the alignment

 

I wounder how much steve charges in LA to install a rear sway bar?

 

I don't think the OP specified whether he/she was referring to a H-sport sway bar (rear, front, rear+front) or H-sport springs...

 

You're right. I should have been clearer. I am looking at the springs.

Thanks for the info. This is one mod I don't envision doing myself...its better left to someone with a bit more knowledge than my "how do you change the oil" brain can deal with.

Spring compressor is the only thing you will need outside of standard hand tools.Alignment after,and perhaps a camber kit.

 

Steve 's Auto Clinic charges the following for these installs.

Rear sway $ 90
Front sway $ 170
Front and rear $250

Alignment is not needed for Sway bar installs

Four springs installed WITH alignment $ 200

Steves number is 818 891 6109 Tell him you saw these prices on NAM .
