Toecutter Member 182 Member For: 17y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/01/08 07:09 AM Share Posted 23/01/08 07:09 AM I got a quote today from a local performance shop to FIT valve springs to my baxr6t that I have already purchased..He said if I get the head removed he will fit them to the head for 600 dollars.600 DOLLARS! Is this normal? That is double what I paid for Nizpro Valve springs!Can someone please point me in the right direction or recommend a workshop in Melbourne to fit the springs, and some sort of price figure.Thanks heaps.

Geez they are behind the times.... However, I got a quote from a local performance shop that tune XR's.... They quoted $1200.... yes $1200 just to fit the supplied springs. that's $1200 just in labour to fit springs that I would supply..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These prices are if you already have the Springs, as in your case.... Anymore is BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These prices are if you already have the Springs, as in your case.... Anymore is BSExactly my thoughts, my quote would work out to be more then $200 per hour.... Fark I work on million dollar aircraft and our workshop labour rate isnt even that high! Edited 23/01/08 09:09 AM by hanra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour more than the parts, that is unreal. I actually bought them online so I haven't been to nizpro, but I'll get them to fit them I spose. The bloke I spoke to wanted the head off because he said he did one and dropped a collet into the sump or some crap story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should knock some time off the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
