Default 2 hours/ $200 for spring install???

Just checking if this sounds right. I was quoted $130 for ohlins 10.5 spring set but 2 hours / $200 for my dealer to install them. I thought I read on this forum the spring install takes like 5 minutes?
Thanks for all your help! This forum is great.

Are you upgrading the springs of your stock suspension or aftermarket Ohlins? The procedure can vary depending upon your suspension.

I spoke to my dealer few days back about getting the same thing done...swapping out the stock springs with Racetech.
Their answer was 1.5-2hrs, so I am assuming it is the same for you. Although I believe if you can get the service manual, you might be able to do it yourself. You might have to top up the fork oil though.

I suspect these charges are reasonable. It's not a five-minute job by any stretch.
