You can install it yourself. It is not hard. It took me 1 hr. Save the $$$.

when you install a rsb, do you need to jack up the car and put it on jack stands? I was wondering if it would be ok to use a ramp (suspension will be loaded)

you just need enough space to be able to lie beneath the rear end of the car and have adequate space to work under as well ...

i just used ramps. i'm sure it's easier to wiggle the rsb outta there if u can put the car on stands and then remove one wheel but u can do the install without doing that.

fyi - jacking up the rear of the car and putting it on stands is harder than the fronts cus u need to put the jack on something to elevate it since the rear sits higher.

If you have to get someone else to install..tell the dealer that you'll only pay for 1 hour of labor since it only takes that long. should be 50ish?
