I believe some of these bushing needs to be machine pushed out so my only resort is to go to a shop....

how much is a good price to have a shop to install all of the bushing?

I went to a shop alread and they quoted me 200 for all expect 2 bushings in the rear... the shop owner said something about how one of the lower arm in the rear positioned makes it next to impossible to install...

He's right about the tough bushings to remove, but if it's a good shop with a good press then he should be able to do it without bending/ruining the lower control arm.

$200 for him to put your car on a lift and remove all suspension components, replace bushings, reassemble then re-align? helluva deal!

Your alignment settings will change when he pulls the arms out and you WILL need 4wheel alignment after install.

Pay him extra or convince him to find a place that'll do the two tough bushings. One less thing to have to pay to have done all over again, just to get to those two bushings.

he said I will have to realign in advance... they dont have alignment stuff but I don't care since I have life time warranty for alignment (local firestone manage hates me because I gone there for 4 times since july)

he points out exactly which 2 he can't install, he also told me that he did it on an integra but never on a s13. He also said that he need up to 3 days to do the job... **** I Don't want to leave my car there since I have work and shcool...

I guess I'll have to talk to him again?
