A fair price should be around $250 in my opinion including wheel alignment.

Be warned they may hit you up for new caster tops and bump stops while they are fitting the new ones, might be worth checking first, I think the caster tops are ~200+

by castor tops, are they strut bearings? cause ive got a set of them ordered as well

are they hard to fit yourself?

Fronts are standard and same as older models. Rears, well not so fun, getting the spring/strut out is a "$tch cos the control arm is the way. N u need a good set of tools

Yeah i agree with kizza there a pain to fit just get someone with the right tools to do the job

Iv lowered many vehicles and by far I could say Ve was most effort, I had a mate put weight on the control arm and another pulling the disk /caliper towards the front of the car so I could pull the strut under the wheel arch and then out of the control arm, I'm going to be honest, I did this at home in my driveway on stands, and no air tools, the rears took me 3 hours and front 1.5 hours
