What kind of shocks did you get? I've been looking for some, but nothing has caught my eye. What about labor cost?

i'm just going with the OEM ones. i dont have a need for sport shocks like KONI or Tokico's.

the labor is free. my friend owns a auto glass shop that also does wheel alignments and front end stuff, including installing springs/shocks.

Im not sure but you might want to check , me I think 600$ from teh factory is to much. If local autoparts stores dont have it I would just get some Tokicos for around 450 a set.
