You're making fun of someone who actually does his own work on his garage floor when you just pay someone to do it for you?

Well I guess it could take longer than 30 mins, but I already had my wheels off and the car up on the lift because I was installing my coilovers. Either way I wouldnt pay more than $200 to have two ball joints and two tie rod ends installed...

I just put my new ball joints in yesterday morning. I could tell a difference immediately when driving it, mainly because my left front ball joint was destroyed. It took me 3 hours to do it flat out. Now that I've done it once though and know exactly what to expect I bet I could cut that down to 2 hours. Coilovers are coming next week, FSB is ordered and will sit in the house for an eternity, and finally I need to order a RSB.

Even with a lift and air tools I think you're easily looking at 90 minutes.

I finally found a performance shop out in western Mass that will install my H&R springs and Whiteline RCA kit for a decent price...around $450.

The guy at the shop said they have installed RCA kits on both Subarus and Mitsubishi's many times, and that he would not have to remove the lower A arm completely from the car...just disconnect the ball joint from the steering knuckle, and perform the install using special C clamps.
