Default Just Went to My Local Shop

Whattup.

So i have a whole bunch of stuff just sitting in my room waiting to get installed(springs,spacers, and camber kit). And today i went to my local body shop to just get my spacers installed first to get that outta the way and when i went there they said that it would take 10 HOURS !! Holy **** thats a long time and they also said it was gonna run me $500 just for installation?!?!? Is that rediculous or is this normal because im kind of a newb when it comes to this stuff. And if it was going to run me this much i would of waited a little bit. And heres the link to the spacers that i ordered if you have any questions. http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo....r=ICH-NS-50220

Thanks guys.

If you can change jack your car up, and change the tire then you can install a spacer. This is def not a 10 hour job! Good Luck!

The Ichiba 20mm spacers do not come with the built-in studs. You will have to remove the stock studs in each rotor and replace them with the longer studs that comes with the kit. It may take over an hour but is definitely not a 10-hour job. Find a more reputable shop to install them.
