Re: $1200 for OME 885/895 installation?
If you for real have no mechanical skills or tools, or even friends that have tools and some skills, then yes get a shop to do it. MOST shops will quote you 5 hours or so to do the labor, anything longer, then they don't know what they are doing. A skilled mechanic with the tools and having changed coil-overs out before could do this job in 3. I could do it in 3 (if i had a spring compressor and floor jack) and would only charge you 100 bucks if you lived near here. Unless you helped do a lot of the work then i wouldn't charge you. I would just show you what to do and supervise.
400-500 is pretty accurate (with 500 being on the hi side). But 500 with an alignment is okay. However the springs will settle so i wouldn't recommend an alignment til after a week of driving. Some say get it right away. After my second set of OME's up front i say wait.
