Exclamation my 06 ehaust and shock install

Damn sucks being in an expensive state! The guy I had lined up to do both had a car on the lift. I ended up cruising the secondary rd for a garage. and a mech willing to do both for 200$. Funny thing tney all wanted too much or insisted on ordering there own parts....So they can mark that **** up as well. turns out the last place I wentoo said he could help me out with both. But there's a catch he wanted 2.5 hous for the shocks and only an hour for the exhaust. I told him exhaust is fine but I didn't have the cabbage for the shocks....I then called up the guyt I lined up in the first place and he had no problem doing all four shocks for a c-note. on wednesday. Labor rate is 85-98 $ an hour....wtf.

shocks i believe are easy enough to do yourself with a couple of tools.

well, not as easy as ours Jay, he's gonna have to pull the springs with a coil over, but still a fairly easy install...
