I feel like I'm getting robbed. $750 install??
 
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!:eek:

thats wayyyy too much IMO, try going somewhere else.

StillAlive2029 Apr 12, 2010 02:50 PM

Also, I am going out to Cali ina couple of weeks, and I have been in the norcal forum area. But i haven't asked about this. Anyone from that area know of a place that could do this quickly and more cheaply? I would be happy with any area of norcal even.

Right on. How many hours of work should this be? Even on the high side. And I wish I could take it somewhere else, but this is the only place I could find that will do it. Everyone says no to aftermarket stuff which is ********. I'm in Kansas so there is no big shops or anything, and I dunno, just no one wants to mess with it

John Bronze Apr 12, 2010 02:54 PM

+1 on it being WAY too much. Go somewhere else. Too bad you wont be in so cal, I could have hooked you up at like 1/4 of that. lol. :)

jimpactmfsc Apr 12, 2010 02:56 PM

in my area,
coilovers -$ 350
spc Front+Rear = $350
High Flow Cats - should be bout 1.5 hours labor? so we'll say $150

750 isnt to bad.; well it would depend on what shop is doing it to

lgear080 Apr 12, 2010 02:58 PM

hahahaha/ try $400 tops

350junkie Apr 12, 2010 03:03 PM

for as much work as your getting done you probably won't get below 600$

StillAlive2029 Apr 12, 2010 03:06 PM

I guess here is more like Georgia than miami or Cali. Any norcal people want to weigh in or make a recommendation for a shop or person to do this? Cuz I couldntotally wait if necessary to sa e a few hundred bucks

zerostyle Apr 12, 2010 03:07 PM

i got my cats put on for 60...and my springs for 150. i know your doing more than me but just to give you a ball park figure. but +100000 too much

KornerCarver Apr 12, 2010 03:11 PM

Your choice is to wait, do it yourself or pay the $750. It really doesn't seem that high to me. You are going to be getting quite a bit of work done and it all takes time. Time equals money.

jimpactmfsc Apr 12, 2010 03:16 PM

and remember you get what u pay for,dont cheap out when it comes to the z bro, dis ***** is one vengeful gold digger.

duro78 Apr 12, 2010 03:16 PM

its a little high

gregtotheb Apr 12, 2010 03:22 PM

i wouldnt pay over 300.

tylerxfire Apr 12, 2010 03:23 PM

i say its a little high but not extremely high..i dont know why you wouldnt do it yourself but maybe u are not mechanically inclined enough? i say at least put the high flow cats on yourself and just have the other things done somewhere to cut cost..Anyone can do the cats ..there are DIY's on this site for it..ive heard of people paying like 3-400 bucks to have high flow cats installed...crazy to me

Try, the z car garage in San Jose. I am planning to get a few things done to my ride at that shop. Nothing but good news from satisfied customers. Here's the website http://www.zcargarage.com/

StillAlive2029 Apr 12, 2010 04:03 PM

I would like to do it myself, but I do not have the tools, lift or stands, etc. I would need to pay a lot more to buy those things. Although I guess for $750 I could get a number of good tools and Jack stands etc. And technically all these things are diy aren't they?

I mean don't exactly know the INS and outs of car work, but I sure know how to follow directions well!

terrasmak Apr 12, 2010 04:29 PM

Buy your own tools for about $100 and do it yourself.

davidv Apr 12, 2010 04:31 PM

How are you getting robbed? Someone have a gun to your head?
