It's the time they take to remove and replace that'll cost ya. An 4 wheel alignment is usually a set cost of under $100 but I'd assume about 4 hrs labour. Been 6 years since I last had major suspension work done (on a sic az VL maaaaate) and it took about 6 hours with a full replacement of 90% of the bushings etc. So an ill informed guess would be < $500

Yeah I'd say about 4 hours labour at the most (budgeting $100 an hour to be safe) plus alignment.

An alignment can be had for about $75 at Wilkinsons.

Therefore, put $500 aside to have your suspension put in.

I installed my own with the help of a mate, took us 3 hours including a quick alignment using a tape measure so I could drive the car home without anything rubbing or hitting.

We didnt rush either, everything was done in good time...so allowing for 4 hours should be MORE than enough.

budget kit:

1. Angle Grinder (Bunnings $60)
2. Original set of springs (free since you've got them on your car)
3. A mate (to help)
4. Carton of VB ($35)
5. Lower ride with absolutely no handling...priceless
