Spring install pricing at shops.

Do it yourself. You will save a lot of money. It isn't that hard to do.

Not to thread jack, but does the subframe have to be dropped or loosened to install springs?

CJ Pony has a good video for the Steeda springs. Did my rears in about 1-1/2 hr. *Backed car on race ramps * Jacked under rear center and set rear on jack stands* chocked front wheels* removed race ramps* remove wheels* 1 side at a time support rear under spring perch *unbolt shock top bolts and brake cable support* remove front and rear bolts holding rear to sub-frame with small bracket on front and slowly lower jack and remove jack * use 2x4 to pry down pull spring out and then reverse. Make sure you don't pinch any wiring when you are prying. Jack the rear back up and start bolts by hand not to cross thread before using any force or impact.

I see you are in Rosamond, where in the HD is this shop located?

Install it yourself...its very easy & straightforward.

The shop was actually GAS in the valley. I am going to end up doing it myself, just got to wait a little for some more parts. just toying with the idea of having a shop install due to a current injury. I will just push through the pain haha.

JPC told me 1400$ to install springs cradle lock out and alignment. I already had the parts lol

If true that's embarrassing for JPC!

300-350 is reasonable for a spring install. local mustang shop wants 320, i'll just give my buddy 100 and a case of beer and we can knock it out on a sat afternoon

Yeah GAS is a rip-off. I can never get a hold of anyone over there or get someone to call back. Far cry from how Galpin Ford deals with me. I reckon I ain't special enough...
