And what type of install $$ did you pay.

I think PGTT got the whole deal done for around $600 a while back.

I may have paid the most. Take Peter's price and multiply by 2. (Included 4 wheel alignment.)

Default I have taken the plunge and it costs $275 with the Neuspeed bar installed.

After doing my TT, I think they would charge more next time -- probably $300 without the bar install

My front OEMs(Monroes) failed at 700 miles. Replaced w/Bilsteins.

Default So, a good price would be around $1k installed?

Damn, this and the exhaust (Milltek) are really yhe 2 last mods I really want to do, and of course they are the most expensive!

Default Dampers and Install - $900 OK no alignment needed

But if you want. Do what I did - I complained to dealer about alignment B4 install (wheel was off center) and he did realignment after suspension install under warranty

A bargain would be $800 with Bilsteins. About a thou with Neuspeed Bar
