yikes, that's kind of expensive. $120 for labor on a 40 minute job. Not that i'm bashing DRU or anything, i know they do quality work. Maybe i should start charging more for SPC installs!!

Actually, SPC even states it's about .6 hours per side.
Meaning it's a 1.2 hour job.

Also, i'm not sure where you came up with $120 for labor.

But the deal stands at $320 installed and out the door.
Please keep in mind that this includes tax as well.

i paid $180 for mine. add 8.25% tax and parts cost $195

so basically we are looking at $125 for a 72 minute job, which puts the labor rate of $104/hr.

but i guess with overhead and guaranteed work, you gotta pay to play.

thanks for the back-up there Vinh.

I'm in no way trying to say that you're overpriced or anything DRU, i know you guys do top quality work and like Vinh said, you gotta pay to play. How much do you guys sell the kit by themselves for?

If you can find a better deal elsewhere, more power to you.
Please please please don't come in here and turn this into an "i got it at a much better price" contest.
This isn't what this thread is about.

Not everyone has insane hook-ups for parts and labor.
I'm providing a discount compared to my normal price on this deal.

My normal price for the SPC Rear Camber Kit + Install = $350
People have happily rolled up their cars for that price.
So when compared to that price, it IS a deal.

I'm offering a one stop shopping experience.
There is no waiting around for shipping.
You get the parts installed by a reputable shop
Pay for it all at once, and you're done in a little over an hour.

If you're interested, please sign in!

I'm not at all trying to turn it into what you think Dru. I know your shop does top notch work like i've said already. I already have the kit on my car and do all my own work as i am a mechanic. Just when i compare it to my install price... i think i need to raise my prices on installs!! haha.

don't low ball yourself, GP.

you're taking food out of your own mouth.

you and i both know that this isn't a simple walk in the park.
not just swapping out arms and bolts and that's it.

i've had a lot of people come to me complaining about other shops (not gonna mention who) that installed the arms without boring out the bolt-holes and still charging what i'm charging.

ridiculous, huh?

Yeah, that's a big no-no. I always let the guys watch what i'm doing. I guess it just seems so simple to me now that i've done it 5 or 6 times. I started with my own car and that was my learning experience, trying to elongate the holes with a drill and bit... big mistake, now i have a Dremel with the high speed cutting bit and it takes about 5 mins to bore out each side.

I only charge what i charge because i dont want them going to shops where they're going to get overcharged for something so easy (just like you mentioned) keep on keepin on brotha!
