... for installation of your rear camber kits? For your stainless steel brake lines? How many hours of labor? Thanks.

 

Installation for rear camber kit should take around an hour and a half....Rear brake lines shouldn't be too hard to change out..I bet probably around an hour or so..Depends on who you take it too.. As far as labor..You should do it yourself its pretty easy and will save you money which is always a good thing...Just basic hand tools are required for both jobs.....Then just bleed the brakes after you swap the lines out..

 

If you have never worked on brakes take it to a pro. Shouldn't cost more than $300 and some change for everything.

 

I did my own rear camber kit, took about 2 hours-ish. The instal is super easy, just cutting the template takes a while. If you have the time and resources to do it, then i would suggest doing it yourself.

As for the brakelines, i have no clue and would be interested myself...

 

You hit the nail on the head. I have the skills and I know-how to do it, I just find that I don't have the time. There was a time not long ago when I would never dream of letting someone else do things like this to my car that I can do myself, but depending on the cost, it may be more beneficial for me to pay someone and do other stuff with my time.

 

Gotcha... Bring her on over and I'll do it! I was quoted $300 to have it all done, this includes a $120 alignment, so look at it around 90-$100 a side

 

Whats all involved with installing the rear camber kit?

 

This will give you a good idea of what is involved. It's for a Stillen kit, but it's basically the same. The only difference is the Eibach / SPC kit should have a new toe bolt, that requires you to elongate the hole in the frame mounts (left hand arrow in the pic).

 

Remove OEM parts by unbolting, elongate existing hole, bolt up new parts. I don't think it should take more than an hour and a half even with having to redrill the hole.

Did you DIY or pay someone locally? If so who/where and how long did it take?

 

Dealership or independent shop?

 

I paid $400 for camber kit install, alignment, coil adjustment and corner balance. I think the camber kit install was around $100 of that.

 

My Camber kit took an hour of labor for my local guy here in knoxville.... 60/hr labor rate.

 

Some performanace orineted alignment shop quoted that.

 

I had a local muffler / suspension shop do it (cost just over $100...1.5 hours labor). I could have (and should have) done it myself, but I had a deal worked out for a free alignment. Seeing as how they totally screwed that up, it wasn't worth it. As long as you have something to elongate the holes (rotary file), then it takes no time to do.

 

If you look up the part on the SPC website, it gives instructions for install and they quote 0.6 hrs per side for install.

From SPC:
1. Before beginning any alignment always check for loose or worn parts, tire pressure, and odd tire wear patterns.
2. Raise vehicle by frame and support properly. Remove rear wheel and tire.
3. Remove front lower control arm link. (This arm has the stock camber adjuster at the inner end.)
4. Make sure that both ends of the 72050 arm have equal threads showing on either side of the turnbuckle and install into vehicle with bushing end toward the center of the vehicle. Use original bolts and tighten bolts slightly with the cam bolt in the neutral position.
5. Reinstall tire and wheel, lower vehicle and tighten bolts to manufacturer's specifications.
6. Lift vehicle under rear spring seat until tire is just off the ground.
7. Remove stock toe cam bolt and drop arm down out of the way by lowering vehicle slightly.
CAUTION: Always use appropriate safety devices to support the weight of the vehicle while servicing any suspension component.
8. Mark area to elongate hole with template provided and use #85126 Rotary file or equivalent to elongate slot. Check to make sure hole is the right size by placing the new bolt with a cam on the head into the hole, it should rotate 360 degrees.
9. Reinstall control arm by raising the vehicle slightly and install the bolt with a cam on either side. Install locknut and tighten slightly.
10. Lower vehicle and adjust toe and camber using the new toe cam bolt and the new camber arm. When all adjustments are made tighten all fasteners including adjustable control arm locknuts.
Note: The maximum length of the arm is reached when the flat on one rod is visible at the end of the turnbuckle adjuster. DO NOT lengthen the arm beyond this point.
11. Complete vehicle alignment and road test vehicle.

Hope that helps.

I can't give $ for install as I had springs, camber kit and alignment all done for one price and priced several I trusted in the area for total price only.
