Need a rough estimate on installation of some stuff...
I'm going to be changing my shocks/struts, tires, brakepads and rotors. I was wondering how much a shop should charge me for all of this. I just need a rough estimate that's all.

Rep Power: 347 I'm guessing 1000 with labor at a Honda stealership. That does not include tires or pads.
I believe my dad payed 700 for struts and about 300 for rotors becuase I had a warped rotor.
I don't recall the actual price for just the rotor because we also had some other work done to the car, so that is just my VERY rough estimate.

Rep Power: 0 Ahhh so there's a DIY. Maybe I'll do that this weekend if it's nice outside. But I have my struts/shocks, rotors, tires, etc already. I just need a place to put them on. Do you think it would be more then $500? How much would labor cost?

It varies where you go. Some speed shops charge less then auto shops. try them. I paid $160 to have my konis installed, so getting both installed at once, shocks and springs that is will save you in additional labor.
But again, you need to call around. you will get varying prices depending on where you go. People can give you estimates, but shops in your area may charge more or less. SO start calling around. I could easily find a shop in my area to do all of that for less then $500.
