Since my dealer doesn't know what Mopar Springs are, I decided to call Midas. They charge about $350 for the labor. Is this a good deal? Would you guys trust them to do your work? I also had them price my toyota corolla, and they said $550 for that, because it had struts. I guess these guys know whats up. Just looking for a trustworthy company to lower my charger.

This is labor only, they charge 1 hour for each side front and rear. That averages out to $87.50 per hour

Honestly.. most spring lowering kits are relatively simple. You may wanna just go by a reputable Auto shop, and ask them how much to put on your springs. There's not a WHOLE lot they can mess up.... and it should take 4 hours...

port - first, if the guys at midas told you your corolla was more because it has "struts", then i would be nervous because so does your charger! :nervous s also, 350 is high for a simple spring install!!! one hour for each corner is ridiculous! unless they have no one working for them that has done it before, i gaurantee you they have the job done in half that time!!! i installed the coil overs in my charger by myself in about five hours and did not have a single air tool or big lift at my disposal!!! shop around, i have never been able to "trust the midas touch"!!:smoke:

in this case sounds like the "midas touch" is coming from uncle midas.
