Depending on your location.. It can range from 300-500$. Depending on shop rates. Easier to do it yourself. As for the alignment.. Check your local firestone or Midas.. Or hell even Walmart, just be sure to time the bushings..

I paid $340 for the install and the alignment with the bushings timed at a professional performance shop.

We usually charge 3 hours labor + an alignment. Labor rates may be discounted if the springs are purchased from us.

Best regards,
