IT50VR Member 11 Member For: 15y 7m 30d Posted 05/11/15 07:23 AM Share Posted 05/11/15 07:23 AM Hey guys im chasing a workshop in sydney that can do my valve springs on a xr6t FG. Most shops are quoting 600 - 700 just for labor. Is this the going rate or can someone else do it cheaper?

They earn their money. Its not like a 186 holden!

Most places are around the $1000+-100 mark for Springs and labour Edited 05/11/15 09:18 AM by bamk2f6tornado Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91340-workshop-for-valve-springs-sydney/#findComment-1568355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
