$850 total to install front/rear Bilstein 5100 and 1in. rear block--Waste of money?
 

$850 includes purchasing the Bilstein kit and rear block. Did I pay too much for everything?

Are you happy with drive-ability and install workmanship? You can always find someone who has or will do it cheaper but at what cost in quality?

I don't have any of the above items, just my $.02.

I did that entire job myself minus the rear block.

I think the parts are around $500? If so $350 in labor seems reasonable, especially since you need to remove the springs from the struts.

Also remember you need an alignment when your all done.....

It also includes allignment

Maybe a breakdown would help.

5100s (all 4): $370
Rear block: $100ish (depends on what brand)
Installation: $200-350
Alignment: $100

This is assuming you are paying someone to do the whole job. If you could do some yourself, that'll be great. Rear shocks and blocks are simple, even for a rookie. Front shocks can be daunting for some people. Your call.

5100s (all 4): $349
Rear block: $129
Installation of shocks/rear block + allignment: $400
