I ordered all those parts from my local dealership on August 30,
how long will it take to receive the parts? How many labor hrs.
will it take for the install? Any one want to guess? I already know
it will cost me a lot of money.

2002 Mazda Protege ES
Millenium Red Mica

 

I just ordered mine from Mazadaperformance. It will be here on Tuesday. If you're going to have the dealer install the parts, it would probably cost an arm and a leg, maybe around $3-400??? If you can, do the work yourself.

 

that number seems a bit low for a dealer to install the parts. My dealer charges upwards of $80/hr. A friend of mine was quoted at $180 just for a spring install on an older 626. That front swaybar will be the most fun paying for....

 

My local dealership charges about $65.00 an hour for labor.

 

I Paid over $300 in labor alone for just the sway bars! The front sway bar is a bitch!

 

I asked mazdastuff.com (a dealer) how much for the MP3 swaybars, springs, struts and tower bar installed on a new Protege I would buy from them. They quoted me $1937. The parts off their site sell for $1246 before taxes. You do the math on the labor.

You gotta drop the front subframe, and the rear bar comes with a new rear subframe, so it ain't easy/cheap doing the bars.
