Lowering Supension Pricing

Wasn't to sure where to post this. Move if needed

Just recently bought a set of Tenzo R lowering springs off a member! Great buy, great guy to deal with! Now i have yet to install. I can do the install myself but i really don't see me having any time to install anytime soon. So i went to a local shop and asked how much he would charge to install them for me. He said 100 even. Not to sure what people would consider difficult about this to come to a price. Basically I'm not sure what a job like this should cost?

I'm I getting a good deal or not?

Opinions welcomed!

Sounds fair. Shouldn't take a professional shop longer than $100 worth of labor.

There's 48 hours in a weekend. Say you spend 30 sleeping. 4 eating. 2 pooping. And ten relaxing. That's one hour to install springs.. and another hour to admire your work.
