Default Getting some suspension work done...

Hey guys, so i have decided that i would like to spend some money towards my suspension. I have a local mustang shop near my job its called http://www.dugan-racing.com/, they have been around a while so i think they should be alright. Anyways i talked to them and told them i wanted the car streetable, but to have the suspension mainly setup for drag racing. They quoted me like 2200 for parts and labor to install it (i dont know much about suspension), anyways im going to get a total list of the parts they are going to install so i can come back and check prices online to see if everything looks right. Gonna post up the list in a little bit and see if yall think its ok. Thanks again guys...

That seems really high, any idea what they're doing? I just replaced my UCAs LCAs, front and rear springs, front struts, rear shocks, welded in sub frame connectorsthe parts were around $750.00, I'd like to see the parts list and labor costs.

is this for the car in your sig? if so i would say you need some suspinsion work. that is probaly a lot to handle on the street if it doesnt have any suspinsion work. is that with coil overs in the front? if so thats a decent price.

Yes it was coil overs all the way around but it did not include k member or a arms which i really wanted but it was 600 extra for those two and little more for shipping on it. So i decided to let him just do the rear for me today. I believe i will setup the front end on my own a little later on when i have more cash. Anyways the rear he is going to be putting is qa1 i believe not 100%, he told me that it will have the air bags in it so it will not fully compress the springs when launching. The car already has the subframe connector put on but thats all it has as of now.
