KW HAS Install Pricing Feedback

Guys, I realize there's another thread on KW HAS Impressions, but didn't want my question to get lost in that discussion.

I'm in Raleigh, NC and am curious what others are paying for the install? I've called two local shops (Bimmer Performance Center and Black Forest Industries) and was quoted $875 and $675, respectively. I also reached out to EAS to get an idea of what it would cost for an install in Anaheim, CA; I was quoted $350 (I assume labor rates are cheaper in NC than CA). There's definitely a disconnect in the NC market.

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Are those both with alignments included in that price? Still I would say that's a little high

$875 includes alignment, $675 does not. Called another shop this afternoon and was quoted $400 for the front, $200 for the rear. Alignment not included.

While labor rates would most likely are cheaper they might not have the same amount of experience installing them so they are quoting high.

Thanks, that's my assumption now too.

Sounds like you're getting quotes from less experienced installers.

I see suspension estimates range all over low to high.
Are they including an alignment as well ?
Typically just springs alone is about $400 and that is a deal if you are offered at this price.
Ask to see pictures of the kits they have installed in the past. Usually any shop will have photos for their own clients to see.
Regardless, just make sure that it is done right. Springs is a easy installation.
