    Default Suspension Payment

    A friend and I just installed new struts/shocks and springs on another friends Eclipse. He wants to pay us however much a shop would have. Anyone know about how much that would be?

    call up Mainstream or Battlground and ask. I believe the usual going rate for that type of work is around 75$hr.

    200 is a fair price. Some shops may charge up to 400.

    If it's a friend, then just charge him $30-$50/hr. That's standard. For shops, it'd cost $75-$100/hr for shop mtn fees and other shiznitz.

    I wish my friends offered cash instead of beer... sometimes... lol.

    Pretty cool of your friend to pay you guys.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    when your at a shop its not about how long it takes u to do it. its about how many hours the book gives you to do it in. just because i can do it in 3 hours and its supposed to take 5 doesnt mean im charging for 3. thats how u make money at a shop.
