R33 Ball Joint And Suspension Cost

[dex_911]

Hi guys,

I got a full suspension check done on my car (Series 2 R33) and they have found the following things I need to get replaced:

Ball Joint (all 4): $304.00

Front Shockers: $660.00

Labour: $300.00

So obviously this is going to cost me a bit to do. I was just wondering if someone here could let me know if this is reasonable for what I am getting done?

Or maybe suggest a place where I can buy the parts myself and have them installed if they are charging me too much?

I would appreciate any input here guys.

Thanks!

That price is about what you would expect from a shop..

they wanna be real good shocks for 660$ my bet is you have been quoted new nissan shocks

I'm not sure bilsteins are even that much and they're pretty much the best you can get..a full set of bilsteins is only about a grand

ball joints are 30$ each at bursons..if your handy with tools you can fit them yourself with a big hammer and some perserverance..

then you just need to get your alignment checked..50-100$ tops

Thanks for the feedback bro..

Just a few follow up questions;

1) The shocks they have priced me are Monroe suspension. Are they any good? Am I better off buying a different set?

2) Follow on question; where would you recommend I can have a look at a few other options? A website perhaps?

Thanks!
