I am getting Megan coil overs with a front and rear camber kit with rear toe bolt. Then I am also getting my UR high flow cats installed. $750 is what I was quoted. Does this seem reasonable to you all? To me is seems a bit absurd. Also they said it would take a few days. Is this not a quick ish install? Like no more than 2 business days? Let me know what you guys think as I'm taking her in tomorrow!
i read some of the other replies.
does this install include alignment and corner balancing?
coilover install for a reputible shop should be less than 4 hours (like an hour or less each side. rears are super easy) rear toe bolt takes like 30 minutes to prep,put on the template, cut/drill and clean up to install the bolt. the rear camber kit, i'm assuming is the adjustable bar type, is relatively easy.
high flow cats would take an hour + unless the exhaust is rusty and takes more time to get it off..
however.. its the alignment/or corner balance included in that 750? if you have adjustable end links, the corner balancing is quite labor intensive, and depends on if they're alignment is done by strings, or laser..
if alignment is done (height/camber/toe) thats typically a 75-120 job.
corner balancing is several hundred for the labor to do it right..
if its coilover install, corner balance with alignment, and hfc install for 750. i'd say thats a fair price for labor.

1) floor Jack?
2) impact wrench?( don't need one right?)
3) torque wrench
4) 12,14,17 mm and extensions galore
5)Jack stands
6) PB blaster
7) anything else?
I went ahead and went up there today and picked up my stuff and am going to do it myself. God I hope that I do not regret this, but i am so excited. If there is any more pointers, they are all greatly appreciated and will all help very much and give for a better overall experience for me under my car!
