sounds overpriced. prices for springs/suspension usually run around $200. and as far as forced induction goes, a full kit (basic bolt on kit) normally runs around $1000. if you know someone, it'll be even cheaper than that. but then again thats around here.

I wonder how much RRM charges for the turbo install...and I wonder if that comes with labor warranty against defects.

hey bro you need to get some sleep, you can't even type right. I don't know, I just don't like the idea of working in a parking lot...people would start wondering what I got under the hood...hint, a stroll around 5am disabling the alarm and taking the turbo kit + more... Normally, alarm siren blasting gets too common and people wouldn't even pay attention anymore, they'll be like ahhh not another false alarm. I definitely need another car for temp drive, I don't want to do a rush job when it comes to any car repair/install

1500 to install the springs huh? tell em to get their heads out of the smoking chamber. i live in garland, tx( right next to dallas) and theres a place that i go to that charges me $120 to install the struts and front camber. they even quoted me 500 to install turbo and the fmi. the shop is called "Asia Imports" these guys also fix regular cars too. if anyone is near dallas, the shop is on international and forest lane. these guys have done alot of work for tons of cars. check em out. great pricing too. hell, i trust em.
