Coil overs? Springs and shocks? Sway bays?

Yikes, 8 to 10 is too long. Must be taking smoke breaks and lunch at your expense ;-/

Default Figures...think they were trying to stiff me...
because I was buying parts from elsewhere. If they can't profit from the parts, might as well try to zing me on the labor!

Default You're all getting SCREWED!
Seriously, I don't know what shops you all have been hitting up - but here in Kansas, a spring and damper job with 4-wheel alignment will cost you NO MORE than $300.

I did my Passat for 250, and I'm doing my A6 next week for about the same -

Just a heads up -

That is probably due to a lower hourly rate there in Kansas. ;-)
