Install coilovers

I have some R1 coilovers and camber kit for front and rear, how much does it generally run to install the coilovers and the camber kit with an alignment? I know you can DIY but i dont really have ther tools or the damn patience to do it.

300 dollars for the Koni's? or 300 for the install? 300 for the Konis is a great price but 300 for install and alignment = RIP OFF!!!

it usually cost around 100 to have people install it themselves because they usually charge by teh hour

wtf, i think your just calling the wrong places.. midas? sears? your lowering a car..
most tuner shops should be able to do it. even some autobody. some wheel/tire shops can do it but they charge like $300.
