lowest dealer price to install a-spec suspension in nyc, nj area?

i just got my suspension from acura of las vegas, i've called several dealers in nyc, nj area and the lowest has been asking for 6 hours of work, but i was thinkin this was a 3 hour job. can anybody tell me exactly the cheapest place to get it done, dealerwise?


and also if it really does cost this much, would it be wise to install it from a regular auto shop? what do you guys recommend?



oh yeah, my package did not come with an aspec badge, even though it was cllearly shown on the ebay pic. did anybody get a badge with their suspension from acura of las vegas:?

It's a 2-3 hour job and the average price at any wheel shop is 200-250 I wouldnt take it to a dealer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, the warranty is based on the parts and not the actual labor that installed it.

CL Platano (Y que Paisano), is right... it shouldn't be more than 250 for the install and just over 2 hours.

Fructus, who did you deal with at Curry Acura? They are quoting me about $500 without alignment and $730 for the susp parts. I said no to labor, but they sound like the price may come down somewhat.
How much did you pay for parts?

I can't seem to find a dealer in NJ willing to talk to me and sell just susp, so screw them.

I bought the suspension itself from them but through ebay. I paid $700.00 for it. I don't know the name of the guy who quoted me, but that's the price that I got. Call them, ask for the price as if you confirming and when they give you $500, tell them that before you were quoted $416 including alignment. See if it works. Regarding parts check ebay or try to talk them into selling it to you for $700.
