Ground Control Installation

I went to my local shop today, and they said they would charge me $200 to install a set of ground controls on my car. They do NOT do alignment or camber correction. I will have to go somewhere else for that. Is $200 a resonable price for just the coilover installation?

although ground control install is a little bit harder, it should be no more than $120. atleast here that is. from my understanding, places out in the middle of no where dont have a lot of shops that know how to do suspension and can charge $200

Im thinking about just doing it myself, although I dont have any mechanical experience. How hard do you think the install would be VNlilMAN?

how much hands on experience did you have before you installed your ground controls? I havent done anything myself except put an intake in. Do you think I would be able to do it with the DIY guide on this site, and the Helms manual, which tells you how to do basically everything on our cars?
