how much to install springs?

I want to install my stock springs again. How much would be a good price to pay someone to do this?

I have no idea how to install the springs nor have the tools.

i instaleld springs on my Fit by myself in 2 hours in my drivway. if a shop has a lift and more tools at their disposal, they can cut that tiem down to 1.5 hours easily.
@$80 per hour it should be $120ish + alignment(if thats part of the deal)

dont pay more than $200 for installation and alignment combined.

Absolutely CRAZY... I called around.. Everyone says $300+...

Found one place to do it for $140....

Not sure if ANY of these people know what a HONDA FIT is.. they ask "Honda civic.. what model again?"
