Default My suspension

is finally complete. It just isnt put on yet, but I have everything laying in my room.
My question is, how hard is it to install a complete polyurethane bushing kit?
I got Koni Yellows, H&R Springs, VSR 16' Black w/ chrome lip, Yokohama Avid H4s 205/45/16, and Skunk2 Front and rear camber kits. I also have the Energy Suspension Master Bushing Set

Another thing. How much would a reasonable price be for all of the previous things installed, including mount and balance, and an alignment.

Mount and balance would be the only thing I'd, "have installed". Will probably cost about $10-15 per wheel for mounting and balancing if you shop around, then it's usually about $50-$80 for an alignment (do the alignment AFTER you've installed everything, otherwise you'll just have to get another one)

it's not HARD, it just takes forever, and is a huge pain in the ***

Here's a DIY

There is so much labor involved that it would never be worth it for you to pay a shop to do it...

if you can't identify something, post a picture, and I"ll tell you what it's for

ok thanks, and I almost forgot, for my rims, I need tuner lugs.
I know nothing about them, where can I get them, and what size do I need?

all the ES bushings should be in seperate little baggies and have each bushing accounted for and some crappy instructions. for the LCA bushings, expect atleast a full day to do them, day for rear, day for front. possibly have the next day free aswell just incase. the rest of the bushings are easy. the top hat ones u can do when installing ur suspension. endlink bushings are easy. one of the rack&pinion bushings is pretty easy, the other rack&pinion ones i believe u have to take the rack off to install them. the ball joint ones shouldnt be too bad tho i havnt installed em before. try to do as much as u can urself, these things take time and labor costs would be insane...
