Don't do it!

But around 2 hours. The rears are cake. The fronts are more intensive.

omg, PLEASE use the search button. Expansion joints (Do you drive on the highway? Do they have bridges?), slight variations in roads (going from 1 state to another, where they have those parting lines, where one state uses concrete the other asphalt), how about speed bumps? How about pulling into gas stations, or any other surface thats not a perfect transition from the road you were on, to the road your going onto.

You like bounciness? Cuz your going to get it regardless of whether your roads are perfect. Like harshness? going to get that too. Like people in your car? The minute you add them, the whole thing gets magnified by 10, and they think what a piece of CRAP your new ride is. I have people that now refuse to ride in ours, because they drove in it when I was having all the issues. Fixed them... now... but too late, it ruined their respect/appreciation for the srt8.

So your cost? DOUBLE it, because you'll take them out and realize what an idiot you were for doing it, once this is all done. But be that guy if you like, you've been warned.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY and Time.

Depends on where you're located and what the labor rate is. Dealership book time is 4 hours, but the rears can be done in 30 minutes. Figure 30 minutes each side for the front. Total time is around 2 hours.

Just pay the up charge and get something that works without jury rigging it. Why would you pay a company for something you KNOW your going to have to modify to get it right, and even then, its still not perfect. I havent tried bwoody, but they certainly have 10 times the customer service that eibach does (I know first hand eibach is crap).

If I could go back in time and do it all again, I'd at least have done bwoody, if not just stayed stock, never eibach. They'll get me for no other further business because of this, none of my cars. These kits should have never been released by eibach.
