Typical install cost question

What would be the going rate to install a set of lowering springs at a reputable shop in Chicago? Just want to make sure I am getting a fair rate. Thanks!

At Fluid Motor Union they are 65 bucks an hour for the first hour..Then everything is prorated from there. So if it takes them 1.5 hours its about 95 bucks. I should be going there tomorrow to do Dyno Runs and get the RR exhaust installed. Assuming they got their customers race car off the Dyno.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll drop them a line. What have you done to your car? I want to get my car dynoed soon too.
