i got some ' top of his head' quotes for some stuff from a performance shop in bk, but it all seems high. i wanted to know if this is normal for a shop to charge or not.

subframes ~175 (and i know i can get these a loot cheaper, right?)
sway bars ~375 (same as above...)
control arms ~430 (dunno what these cost, i dont know what brand he is talking about thugh ill know tonight when he emails me the details)
CAI 200+ (i KNOW this is a rip since i can get it for so much less on ebay....what could possibly cost that much??)

more stuff but thats it for now

 

Subframes: Nomal for $100, Full legnth for $114 (powdercoated too)
Sway Bars: Meh, who needs 'em! Front, $160, Rear $150
Control arms: $200 for MACs, $150 for blue oval industries
CAI: $160 for densecharger aka "the ****" of CAI's

 

is that all including install or no, cuz if it isnt, his prices arent that far off (except the arms - they seem high?)
and im guessing i should just get an ebay cai for 1/3 the price...?

 

yea im getting an ebay cai for 43 bucks
here it is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

 

No, those are the prices... The prices he quoted your are really good if he's using quality parts.

B) No, don't get an e-bay CAI... it works, but you will regret getting it... Just spend the extra $50!

 

$43+$17 Shipping = $60... 1/2 price for 1/2 quality.

I know, I had that exact one (the e-bay intake) and now I have a densecharger.

 

ok i got the detailed prices/brands, id like to throw them out and see what you guys think.

bbk cai - he wants 250!! is that normal?
STB's, 175 or somthing each maybe, but he mentioned a back one too - do i really need that?
control arms 428$ but dunno brand.

springs- eibach with 1.5inch drop all around. 350$ (and is that too low or ok)
tokico struts at 150 a pair.

Hpipe upgrade is 115$

then he mentioned magnaflow "system" ( not sure what he ment by that) for 721 whichi think is a tad high for exhaust.

anyway any comments?

 

those prices must include labor.. eBay owns you [:-]

subframes = $35
springs = $180
CAI = $150
Magnaflow = $360
Control Arms = $160 for all 4

I know this, because eBay owned me

 

Are these the prices of the products and labor or just the products? $721 for exhaust? What kind of exhaust set up?

My Bassani cat back - $380.

My Mac CAI, which is pretty much the same as BBK's - $179

I have normal subframes also - around $40 or so (can't exactly remember)

All were purchased from Laural Mountain Mustang.

 

ok i got more details - here you go:

the cotrol arms are bbk's
the springs are the prokit
tokico hp's for struts.
bbk 3 peice intake
exhaust is everything from the headers on. (he mentioned magnaflow - is that ok for a v6 or should i go flowmaster.)
also mentioned for wheels to go 18x10/12 r , 18x9 f... but i may want 17's instead.

is this good stuff?
