BMW Perf Suspension Kit Installation price

I purchased the bmw kit about a year ago along with the m3 control arms and dinan camber plates... I am finally getting around to finding a installer.

I am wondering what a fair price for this would be? Curious what others have paid, I think there may only be a few places in the northern virginia area I would trust, RRT Racing is very expensive.

Thanks!

There is another very similar thread about install costs, that person was having a bit more done including subframe bushings and other control arm bushings, his quote IMO was a bit high (20+ hours).

Either way, for yours, I'd say around 8-10 hours including alignment is reasonable/in range. You may get it a bit lower if the shop is familiar with the cars and has done a bunch of these before.

Yeah, both quotes I got were for $2500, but I talked one of them down to $2000, and I also had toe arms and and subframe bushings.

The subframe bushing install quotes from both places were really high ($1000-$1200'ish,) so not having those would knock nearly half off of my quotes, and 10 hours seems about right, give or take.
