    Does this price sound about right?

    Hey, i was looking at doing my suspension sometime soon, not sure just when yet, but soon. Anyways, Does about 800 dollars for the shocks and struts sound good? Also, how much you think installation will run for?

    Thanks

    Installation should be no more than 3 hours.....so whatever the shop charges for labor, times 3.
    Really experienced and quick installers can do it in 2 hours.

    800 bucks? Even without knowing brands, I would say you are paying a little much. Most spring sets run no more than 250 bucks, and I dont know of any struts out there for the corollas that run 150 each.

    Eibachs, Intrax, H+R....all run about 250 bucks, 200 if ya shop around.
    KYBs run 60 bucks each from tirerack.com.

    Is this through an independant speed/performance shop? Prices from shops seem to be a little high.

    Go to shox.com....they usually have competitive prices.
