I have some saying 5 and the shop I use saying 10 hours.....curious.

Also, slave and accumulator...no one touched the poll except John D....????

Just for coilovers, I was quoted 8 hrs, and that didn't include an alignment or corner balance.

 

I believe a good tech. could do the install of the c/o in 4-5 hours. The fronts are difficult but, once you find the position to remove them the install is easy IMHO. The rear c/o are very easy and straight forward. I don't know how long it would take to install the front sway bar but, the rear one should take about 30 min. if that. That's provided the cars off the ground.

I installed my JIC c/o and then had it aligned and corner balanced. I believe they charged me 4hrs labor. They had to adjust the c/o's.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks guys:

1000 dollars for the full kit with front sway...

320 at the local dealer (my guy lacks scales)...alignment AND corner balance.

So, not too bad.

Problem, this suspension was a gift...I had saved for the install...and boom: accumulator +/- the slave goes up. I got help from an angel of a person, but that is another 5 hours of labor.....I love the car, but I sure hope it sticks together for a bit.

wow, that's a nice gift.

 

Agreed..unexpected.....

I had a significant number hit me in the years column......someone felt it was worth it I guess. I could not have afforded it on my own. Just the install and the slave/accumulator are killing me....

1k labor all in including corner balance

 

4 hours on the coilovers. 1 hour on the sway bar and sway bar links. 1 hour on the control arms. Corner balance is usually about $400.
