they quoted me $225 for spring install, rip off! $100, or $150 at most.

I was quoted $800 for headers and exhaust install. Had it done elsewhere for just over $300. Seems like they only like working on Hondas

5 hours to install the plenum spacer? I just ordered one, but not the iso thermal. I'm planning on a one hour install time...max. How much more work is the iso-thermal?

Oh I don't think anyone is actually bashing them on their WORK, it's their labor cost.....per say their 'estimate'. But, I guess if you want quality work..you pay for the high labor cost.

I had several cars in the past that Kenny worked on wayyyyyyy back in the old days when he had a small shop.

I do not mind paying for quality work...they charged me 200 to instal the springs. That is a excellent price IMHO. I will slap some pics up soon.

In their defense, they stand behind their work. Cheap, no, Good, yes.

I had some suspension work done there on an acura cl type s...comptech headers, exhaust, supercharger, brembo brakes...anyways I had them install the comptech suspension and their "techs" completely botched the job and also screwed my tint. They had to order another kit and I took it to my friend who is a master tech at goodson acura to install it. And the comment about them standing behind their work...I had a fun time trying to convince them they installed the suspension incorrectly and they had comptech tell them the same thing. I'd gladly pay more to have work done by people who know what they are doing.
