Part Installation (NC)
Hey guys:
I just returned to the States and I am starting to gather the parts for some suspension work on my C43.
I will be changing the shocks (Koni adj.), springs (Vogtland Sport), control arm bushings and sway bar bushings. I have a few questions for those with experience doing this:
1. What would the cost of installation be?
2. Would the MB dealer do this?
3. Are there any places in North Carolina that could do this work?
Thanks.
Jon R

I Have Replaced Control Arm Bushings On A 95 C36 It Was Pretty Easy Until I Had To Get The Bushing Out I Took The Bushings To A Shop To Take Out The Bushing Because They Were Really Hard To Get Out But After That It Was Easy Benz Dealer Wanted Way Too Much Money Foir Such A Simple Job I Think Parts Were 100 And Mb Was Charging Me Like 1200

That's almost more than the sum of my parts. 
I would do the work myself if I actually had a spring compressor and such, but I am stuck with getting a mechanic to install everything.
I just sent an email to Mann Motorsports that I found in Greensboro, NC. I am hoping that they will quote a fair price. I'll see what happens.
