Default Question about spring install

I would install my springs on my own, but since I am lacking the tools and equipment, I am staying away from the job. What did you guys pay to get springs installed and where? What is a fair general price?
I understand I will need an alignment as well, and just as an example I got a quote from a local place in Dublin for around $650...bs or what?

Any help is appreciated

That's too much for spring and alignment. I can't imagine installation of springs for more than $200 labor and $70 for alignment.

Auto Innovations was pretty cheap last time I got quoted. I think it was around 300 for install and Alignment. Give Orlando a call and ask

Figure about 3 hours of labor plus cost of alignment.
