Dang mang, I wish you were down here in SoCal...we could have a mini-meet to help you install the stuff or I know a great place that installs suspensions on the cheap.

You should post your question in the NorCal forum and see what people in your area can do for you

$250 doesnt sound too unreasonable for a shop to do it. If I wasnt so busy I would totally help you out for a 12 pack as well.

install it yourself! It's really a lot easy than you think. Beside, $200 can go to sways!
