Default So, I'm going to bite the bullet on the H&R's - where/how much ?

After getting Paul's money back guarantee, how can I so no ! I'm going to be driving cross country in a few weeks and can't do the trip w/o the H&R's installed. I checked Tire Rack and their @ $1,400. I know this has been asked a million times before but I couldn't find any of the recent posts for sources and cost. Any help would be appreciated. Also hoping I can get them in a week or so.

thanks,
Bob

Default $1400 is likely the best you'll find if you are in a hurry, and is a good price from what I've seen.

Paul and I got ours for a little less than that as a group buy from a small dealer, but I don't think he carries H&R anymore (or more accurately, H&R won't sell through him because he is too small).

Default We either paid $1350 or $1425 with shipping....

....can't remember what it was...it was the lowest price I found. Had to send the guy a money order too.

Good luck! I hear JimR is backing the money back warranty half now! ;-)

Default If you're near Philly, check out AWE tuning

they quoted me $1400 for the parts and $400 for the installation.

Default That's an awfully good installation price.

That's 4-5 hours at typical shop rates. They'll earn it.

If you are going to bite the silver bullet, give greenie a little notice! :-)
