A little more than you expect once you have to buy a new mount (?)for the passenger side I believe. Mine was about 150 for labor plus some extra for the other bs. Do it yourself, or save you some money and do the rear yourself, I just didnt have the time. It wont take but 30-60 min for the rear.

Oh yeah and if ride quality is an issue, you must do revalved shocks or you will be feeling the hurt when you drive. Its not THAT bad, but its noticable. BTW what springs? I'm using Hotchkis and no clearence issues with lt's and ory, Ive rubbed once but it couldnt be helped.
