I was quoted $750 to have my lower arms replaced is this right?

If the quote is from Independent Tuning...It's right!

... parts are cheap... its the labour that you end up paying for. Why pay for more labour later. I went with the Febi Bilstien kit. So far its good.

I just replaced my lower rear arms with Febi's and so far so good! Lemfordner (sp?) is also supposed to be a good brand. As for what should be replaced, I'd price it out. You can get a whole replacement kit for around $750.00 that includes all 8 control arms, TRE's, sway bar links, and neccary hardware.
If you're feeling ambitious, the lower CA's are a fairly straight forward DIY job. I did my lower rears in less than two hours and had never done it before. The arms only cost $250.00 for the pair so it saved me a lot of cash.
As for the cost is $750.00 for both sides? If so that sounds pretty reasonable. I was Quoted $430.00 from the dealership to do only the left lower rear!
