Default anyone klnow of a shop that installs BBKs?

I'm going to be having my 4 or 6 piston brembo GT kit come in soon and was quoted by a shop for 3 hrs of labor which is like 85x3 or 255. Anyone know the ball park for this kind of install? thanks!

doesn't sound too bad when you look at all the steps:

-take off wheels
-jack up the car
-remove calipers/rotors
-catch all the old break fluid
-unpackage all the parts
-install new rotors/calipers/pads,
-bleed brake system
-put wheels back on
-test drive car to make sure everything works.

IMO if you were working fast, you could do it a little over 2hrs...but that doesn't leave any buffer and assumes you already know the car.

I did mine (1st time ever replacing calipers) with Jim and Vince and it was basically a two - three man job and it took 3 hours including time to bleed the system and test drive the car.

that was with adding all new fluid too right? and bleeding the brake system twice.

seems like a very reasonable price.
