Default Whoa -- I think that's way too much...

I'm having it done on my wife's Jetta and it's about 3 hrs labor + alignment(Cdn. $80).

Default I had my dealer install my CO's and was charged $350. AMS's labor fee is $340 & $150 for

alignment.

7-8 hours for a sport kit is a bit much (even for a quattro). More like 3-5hrs. My CO's took all day, but they are harder to get set up correctly the first time. Plus there were some problems.

Default Way off base..

Install take 3 hours tops if you're properly equipped, and have done it before.

I've done one in 2 hours, springs and shocks. It's NOT difficult with the proper tools.

Default Make sure they know what you're asking for

because otherwise it sounds like they're ripping you off. I haven't had it done, but a friend has, and it doesn't cost NEARLY that much. I would let them know how I felt about that
