I just got off the phone with my dealership and they're quoting 165 per spring, or 660 total. Add the 30 for tire mounting and 100 for wheel alignment I had the auto doctor do and you'd get 790, auto doctor was cheaper.

I dont know if its my dealership or something but 700 bucks seems like way too much for this job that I still wish I had done myself. And I still have the problem of the scraping in the rear which will pop my tires after a while.

*thread title*

yah, that's just crazy.

once up on jackstands the rears are literally a 5-10min job to do
both sides total. just 2 bolts unless you're going to trim the
bumpstops. add another 5min for each side.

the front is probably 20-25min per side. im not sure why your
dealer is so damn slow.

you should check with P&L (near O'Hare). RiftsWRX works there
and he has a FitSport. they can probably do it less than $200.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I'm curious. Did anyone ever actually find spacers for this application?

Ha! $200. They charged so much for the fit cause they put new struts on it without asking me. Stock struts are fine with the TRD springs on the tC... at least for now.
