Labor to install coilovers?

So it's almost that time but I wanted to ask what you guys paid for labor on coilover install? Alignment included or separate? Appreciate the feedback guys!

I think I paid about $1k for install and alignment at a shop outside Chicago (suburbs). That's probably on the high end but they were superb in every manner...

That's definitely on the high side. Around Los Angeles, 150-250 for the coil over install. And an alignment and corner balance will run you 250-300 from a reputable alignment shop as well.

That's definitely high. It was a performance shop and at the time it was my first coilover install... They had to remove part of the backseat I remember them saying... Seemed odd but it's been about 40k miles since and 3 years and I haven't had an issue.
