Not the best price I've seen, but not overly priced either.
make sure they have a drive on lift though

You will get various answers on here from a case of beer
to $500 depending on a number of factors.
In my eyes this is something you want done right. I went to a chassis fabricator to do this job.

Re: sfc how much should i pay a shop to put tham on my car
are they weld-in? if so, first they have to grind the heck out of the pinch weld on both sides 20-25min, get the lca bolts out (good luck, one of mine was seized in the bushing sleeve, gonna post pics of the trouble i had today in another thread lol). then they have to "tap" the pinch weld back 1/8" or so to the sfc's so they can weld them...
PS, if they are weld-in style, have them weld the rear part of the sfc where they have the bolt hole, down the back and then along the bottom to the lca mount. much stronger connection than the lca bolt alone.
Even if they are bolt in style they will still be fighting with the lca bolts (unless you replaced them already ?) good luck..

I was under the impression the the weld spots with sub frame connectors has to do with the style of the unit being installed. Exactly what brand are they ?

Just for the record, if you ever intend to race in the CMC challenge, the welding along the pinch welds (good to do for chassis stiffness!) is actually illegal. Wont effect 99 percent of people, but just wanted to throw that out there.
