price can go up and down dependin on the who is doing the job. if you go to just any "rice" shops they can charge you around 200... but don't expect too much. i'd find someone capable and finish the job right. i'd say around 350 + an aligment

yea... taking apart a mercedes isn't as easy as taking apart as japanese cars! you could probably bargain with the shop to have it for aroun 350 installed and with aligment!

i'll second that... any dealer... not just mb...
maybe u can get by with installation by dealer...but alignment is something a good shop can do.... in fact... i know dealers take the difficult cases to local shops

yah... i was raped once... $476 for a 4 wheel alignment on my CLK at the dealer... 
i would observe how the car drives for a week or 2 after the installation of the Cup Kit before visiting any shop for an alignment... if uneven tire wear is not too appearant, and the vehicle drives fine... i would rather save the $$$ for new tires since our tires don't last that long anyways... just my 2cents...

about the alignment...
dont take it to the dealer if you have other than stock wheels. They dont have the program for larger wheels... I got my money back after they screwed up on mine ($145 @pasadena rusnak) I know some places in Cali... Brabus ($175) or CEC ( $???) i think F1 motorsports in Studio City does it too.

spring install, if you didnt buy it from that shop, should only cost you $120. if you want your tires moutned and balanced and put on your car, that doesnt cost much, maybe around $30.
