Takes a competant mechanic approx 80-90 minutes to change springs and shocks on a ve. Then you need to do a wheel alignment after

How mechanically confident and competent are you? DIY could be an option.

supply and fit with wheel alignment afterwards about $600-700. Shop around... some will try and charge you almost $1000.

Only change them yourself if you have the right gear ie, spring compressors. I did mine at home and they were pretty easy to do.
If you're just looking for fitment then probably around 200-300 with an alignment.

Had mine done 3 months ago, $470 Supplied and fitted with wheel alignment. Pedders SL's all round. Shop around for a good deal! Prices ranged from $450 (No Alignment) to $990... (In WA of course)

Davess where did you get that price?

I did mine myself, but I was quoted $350 supplied and fitted. Pedders springs. You can change to lowered shocks when the ones you have get worn. I never went with lowered shocks though and its still a comfy ride.

Also anyone who says your springs will "fall out" if you dont have lowered shocks are just retards lol.
