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!

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

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

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

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!

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