Default Suspension installation question! (more)

I have gotten about 4 quotes for installing Eibach/Bilsteins on my 98.5 2.8qms and they range from $320 to $600. Is this a case of "you get what you pay for" or should I go with the cheapest quote? Is there any special training required to install on a Quattro? Thanks.

Default Probably based on shop rates and if flat rate is used or not

I have seen quotes for this as high as $600 "including alignment". These were with shop rates at $75/hr and based on a flat rate book.

I put the alignment in quotes because from personal experience if the suspension isnt out of alignment before the suspension swap and the book isfollowed, it wont be out of alignment after. Also Camber cannot be set, only "balanced" so about the only actual alignment is toe-in.
