For the tires:

You will get charged 8 mount/unmounts and 4 balancing charges. 8 also if you want the old wheels rebalanced. I think the TPS are big enough in which they can not just break the tire bead to pop them out. They would have to dismount the entire tire. TPS switching will cost extra too. If the original tires on the car are not the Volks you'll get charged 4 rotations.

Around here the cost will be about the following:

1) Balance 1 time 90 warranty: ~$9.00 each
2) Mount/Unmount: ~ $10.00 each
3) Rotation: ~$6.00 each
4) TPS: ~ Vary by shop. Some of them might do it for free if you are lucky.

For the Shocks/Struts you are looking at about $30-$45 each.
The sway bars should be around $45.00 a side

I got 4 tires mounted and balanced last time for $30 dollars (I had the tires and wheels). I talked to the shop guy directly and passed in $30 dollars to do the job. Those guys are good about doing things unofficial.

The costs I listed are +/- for the area I live in. May vary from market zones, but shouldn't be too far off since these are all defined in the labor/cost guilds that shops have to follow. Also, wheel lock removal is about $12-$15.00 dollars each if they can not find a key. What the shop would have to do is either impact them off or try to fit a small socket over the locks to catch and turn the locks. Of course you will have to sign a waver form for any damages that may occur to the wheels if that happens.

^That seems pretty cheap. It might be more expensive since I live in So Cal. Does anyone have recommendations to a shop in So Cal ? I live in the Pasadena area
