Question how much would spring/shock combo cost to install?

I was planning to do my eibach sportline,kyb agx combo install my self but I went to 5 different places in town looking for spring compressors and all of them where out of stock, except napa had these really heavy duty looking ones that cost 65 and they wouldnt rent it out which I wanted to do. So how much would it cost to get my new shocks and springs installed on average??
Thanks alot!

did you check autozone. I rented mine from them and I would not pay someone to do something i could do myself.

Yeah. Try Pepboys or Autozone. They both have a loan-a-tool program. You pay some cash up front for a deposit, and get it back when you bring their stuff back...

It's actually more than you would want to pay. I know the Nissan dealer charges $126 per strut for labor. Ouch.

At least I think that is per strut, it might be per axle, but I'm 90 percent sure it is per strut.

I love Nissan and everything but HOLY SHIAAT!! Thats friggin insane that they would charge that much. That's why I would never take somethin to a dealer.
