Message	absolutely no clue that's out of whack. What on earth could you possibly do for four hours per corner? I'd say around $300-$400 is reasonable (believe I paid around $200 at a local Z specialist 3 years ago). With my "help" (read- interference, silly questions, poking around oohing and aahing) it took a morning, maybe 3+ hours. I did deliver the car with rear hatch panels removed, and I had full replacements - springs, shocks, all rubber bits, nuts, etc. so no time spent disassembling old parts. I'd find someone else, preferably someone with Z experience. Z
