12873, POLY BUSHING?
Posted by chill215, Oct-22-02 04:04 AM
Hey, I'm geting lowered. Belle tire (pro kit, camber kit & monroe sruts) $1,150.00. They have had my car for a day and a half now, and just called to tell me the back end is done but they did not get the camber kit for the front and they have to next day air it in from cal.
I'm a little pissed. They are charging me a lot of cash. Well now the guy calls me and tells me that I should upgrade my bushings to polypropolene bushings, "I asked how much $?" He going to call me back.
What do you all think? How much should they cost?
any help would be great...
Thanks..

Sorry, had to post but you can get prokits for $200, struts for $250 and camber kits for $115..how much are they charging you labor ? Why are you getting Monroe struts? It really is not that hard to change out struts, springs and put on a camber kit. BTW changing out bushings are a bitch.

Whoa.....over $1,000 for a lowered suspension is WAY too much. The total comes to $530 + labor ($200 max) unless your intall them yourself.

If it isn't too late, you can buy springs for $200, Struts for $200, and camber kits for about $130. And that's all you need -- 1,000 dollars is obsurd.
