Yeah, since they were taking apart the rear suspension anyways, there's no additional labor involved...

A consolation. :beaten: :sweat:

Oh yeah, it's way cheaper that way.. Well, think about how nice your car will drive once it's done :woot:

I miss having a fun to drive car. My current car is so pedestrian. :bleh:

Cha-ching. :sweat:

switch to the M shocks, better valving and they're not much more in price. :mrgreen:

It's an idea, but that would require the fronts to be changed as well and I had those replaced last year.

oh, well that's no good then. :doh:

I suppose I should think about getting it painted now: the color's fading in a number of locations... Too much polishing, I guess. :sweat:

My car's official color is Bright Red.... For the Mini it's called Chili Red. :mrgreen:

I found out the other day the rear shocks on the car we bought for our son need replacing. They quoted $500.00 :doh:

Most of that it'll be labor, I'm sure.

Almost 2/3 of mine was labor. :sweat:
