Labor charges for Big Brake Install?
Well, I found a local place to install my brake kit, but he quoted me a price of only $85 for labor to replace the front rotors. He didn't speak English all that well, but they came highly recommended. Anyways, is labor really that low for this job? I was assuming two hours plus, but perhaps it only takes an hour? Anyone have their brake kit installed at a shop? If so, how much?

btw, I got the Wilwood kit from FastBrakes.com, I got it like a month ago, finally got time to install these puppies this week!

It's an easy job. 85 bucks sounds correct.

Is that a Thumbs Up?

I would've documented my S/C install but got too frustrated...

This is an excellent write up .. still, it should take maybe 2-3 hours ... even with the dremel and grinding. It only takes 1/2 hour to change pads.
