    that sounds cheap as mate , i got lovells lowered springs and shockies , new strut bearings plus 4 point nolathane kit for $2000 , apparently its a bit of a job to get at the inner bushes they pull everything outta the ass or so they told me, ive been told an average price just to do the 4 point cmaber /toe kit is anywhere from 4 to 6 hours , so at least 100 bucks an hour labour id say youl b doing great for 300 bucks

    Cheap for a 4 point, possibly cheaper than average price for a 2 point.

    is it a 4 point or a 2 point kit your getting fitted, if 2 point i think a little too much as i supply, fit and align a 2 point for $420.00, if a 4 point its a good price.

    A 4 point kit is just two 2 point kits. so as above you need to buy two 2 points or one 4 point kit which is just two 2 point kits. get me?
