Just for a frame of reference, here's a small list of quotes I got today to have my Bilstein struts and B+G springs installed.
Midas- $525 including alignment
Hibdon Total Car Care- $460 including alignment
Car Doc- $300 + $60 for alignment
Crow's Garage (Local mom & pop shop)- $200 and they don't do alignment, gotta take it somewhere else for alignment.
Luckily I have a friend who is a mechanic who will do it for me for only $100.

That would be it.... however, that is a TERRIBLE frame of refrence since the ONLY store that most people have around us is Midas... and I HIGHLY doubt anyone goes to MIDAS for custom suspension installs. Also, quotes very TRAMENDOUSLY from shop to shop, everyone should know that. Moreso, you are having a buddy do it for 100.00, which is even less of a point of refrence becuase I don't have a buddy to do this for 100.00, he'd charge me less (case of beer and some food) 
So, I restate Todd's theory.. Your point is?

had my bat struts and b+g springs put in at a local shop called tirePros, dont know if you have one of these in your area. They ended up charging me 130 for install plus alignment came out to under 200 total. I found out that most tire shops are the best for low quotes, they seem to be able to do these jobs a little quicker than other places.

A friend who charges 100. I would think a dinner and a few beers would be suffice. And you could help.. Why not do it yourself for free!!

I gave a friend a poster and another one dinner for help on my suspension (had to do it twice). Gave nothing for other help other than being there for anyone that helps me when they need help.
