Its shouldnt cost more than 500 to get them installed, but if u do it urself, u have to unmount the motor and lift it like 2 inches to intall them. I hear its a Bit*h to screw the bottom bolts in though, but have fun.

It is not hard at all anybody can do it but it is time consuming. If you dont drop the k member and just try to lift the engine it will end up being harder and more time consuming. So do it right and drop the K member.

anybody cant do it, its going to require some knowledge. On average it costs 500 to install.

As long as you can figure out the fundamentals of how a wrench works and read the below link ANYBODY can do it.

I watched while they installed mine. Looked like a major pain in the ***. It took several hours and it was done at MPH by guys that do it all the time.
