Default Tein flex w/ EDFC $3100-3,300???

So i stopped in at a local shop and i got quoted the price above for the tein flex with edfc installed with alignment. Seems kinda high to me, or is this a good/average price? I'm tryin to decided if i'm doing this or cams and reflash next. THanks!

That is THE BIGGEST RIP OFF evAr. Tein Flex + EDFC is $1800 so that means they are charging you $1300 for install and alignment. I could install those in 2 hours so general labor rates are $75 an hour so that is $150. Then even the best alignment is only $100. Tell them you will give them $2100 to install them and an alignment and they can keep the change.

Yea thats what i was thinkin too. he was sayin how its really tuff to install the edmc on the Z and that he'd have to cut the plastic in the back bt the tower to install it. I thought that was weird too. He said he'd need the car for a few days too. I myself, thought the price was outrageus also. He then mentioned he's a greddy dealer as well. As i know what the TT kits go for i asked him for a price to gauge if he was jackin the price up on the tein edfc up that much as well. He wante $6300 for the TT kit. I wasn't even gonna ask his install cost. I was like yea well i'll let u know what i decide ...a%*

Yea i figured as much. He sounded a little ridiculous. Guess he had to pay for the SL500 with 20's sittin outside. He can rip off the next chump, but as long as we have awesome vendors on this board like we do with great prices, i'll never actually buy from someone like that. BUMP for the my350z vendors!!! PROPS
