I charge from 0-200 bucks 0 being a good friend damn close friend, and up to 200 will be if I have to give your car a midol cuz its acting like a bi*%&, cars with double wishbone suspension get the 200 bill.

your probably looking around 200 or so... honestly your getting screwed because its only about an hour job and then you can just pay for the alignment.. I did it myself on a lift and my buddy and i took our time doing it and we did the alignment and the install in under 2 hours.. so with that said your getting screwed big time if you dont do it yourself...

^^^What he said. The install really isn't too hard. (Especially the rear. That part takes 20 minutes.) Just check out some of the how-to's.

I did the install by myself at my buddys shop, but then when I took it to my buddy to align it he said the front wasnt adjustable, is this true on the Base Models?
