Front sway-bar installation quote

[Golddeenoh]

I just got a quote to put my sway-bar in, they said it would be $300 and could take anywhere from 2.5 hours to finishing up the next day.
does that seem right, I would think with a lift that it wouldn't that quite that long to do but I haven't done it yet so I don't know?

Sub frame needs to be dropped to install, thats about right at 2.5 hours.

Oh man, that looks like a b*tch to install...

[Golddeenoh]

yeah I would have done it myself but I don't have a lift or enough space to do it in (otherwise It would be on already). they want me to comeback Friday after class and bring it in to get done but with they way they where talking they might take until saturday morning to get it done, I wouldn't think it would but I guess I will have to see Friday.

I have replaced the entire sub-frame with suspension attached in less time than that. With a lift and air tools they should be able to knock it out in an hour.

^ so basically what i am getting is that they could have done it earlier when i asked if it would be done in 3 hours and they said they couldn't say for sure becasue they where scared.

It does look like an overwhelming project if you have never done it before, but there really is not that much to it. Can be done in the driveway on jack-stands.

If it can be done that fast with air tools...i am now reintrested in replacing my fsb now...

[Golddeenoh]

got it done today, took less than 2 hours from drop off till they called for me to pick it up. It was $289.00 labor to get it done and given how long it took they made good money on that one.

How does the car feel now? Was it worth the cost

[Golddeenoh]

stiffer, i did a little test and there is nearly no noticeable body roll, plus it sticks in the corners better improving my cornering speed by about 5 mph more than what i used to do. granted I have to make my car handle in order to out preform the new 5.0 Mustangs at least on the corners. one step closer to having my car set up to do STF Autocross events.
