Yup that sounds like the right hourly rate and # of hours labor.
Now too bad you didn't attend our EOS meet in Sept. to get the 20% off labor coupon at Exact.

and also make sure you drive it before and after
although if you don't have a lot of mileage, you might not feel too much of a difference

Has anyone had Daizens done anywhere else in Norcal besides Exact
I am having wheels/suspension/etc done at motosport technique soon and they said they do the bushings on SC's all the time and that they have done them on GS's. I am just wondering if i can get it all done there or if it is worth it to go to exact first for the bushings and then schlep up to motosport for the rest?
I'm sure both will do a great job, just looking for some feedback from peeps that maybe didn't use exact for their bushings.

Hmmmm . . . Not trying to doubt, but The ONLY BUSHINGs for the GS are from Daizen and they are soo new such that there is ONLY a couple of GS in NorCal that have it installed so far.(to my knowledge)
I find it interesting that they tell you they have done the GS. It must have been very recent, cause no OEM or aftermarket bushings were available until just now.
For the SC yes there were bushings available from the past, but not for the 2nd gen GS.
Well just curious if you could clear that up.
If they can do the SC , then they surely have the skills to do the GS, but it is definitely not the same process.
As long as they charge you no more than 5 hours labor, then by all means give em a try.
Where are you purchasing the bushings BTW. Exact has them in stock, but I'm sure no one else in the Bay Area stocks them.

Yeah, i'll ask how may they have done at motosport
well, exact quoted me $450 for the install and yes they have instock. I was going to get them from carson lexus otherwise.
motosport quoted me $250 for the install and $99.95 for the bushings.
Still not sure.
