Default Hardrace bushing kit install: 93 Civic Hatch

Okay so I just got a quote to install this:
http://www.buyhardrace.com/product/h...s-spec_48.html

The quote for this was $1850.00.

I think this is outragous. What do you think?

oops, now i see "installed". Its a real pain in a** to remove/install suspension bushings, but that is a price shop gave you? if so they dont want to install it, or theyre a rip-off shop.

I did the install and removal of all the parts, and my machine shop did the pressing for $30/pair. Not a chance in hell I would pay that much money to have that **** installed - there's a reason I do all my work myself.
