Default Labor cost question

I'm getting H&R sport springs, Bilstein shocks, Brembo drilled rotors, Mintex brake pads, and braided brake lines installed.

I already have all the parts. A garage a friend of mine recommended to me said it cost about $600 just to install everything. Maybe less, but not much.

I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but that seems pretty damn high to me. Just wanted to get your opinions.

It's a european car specialist. I don't see why it would take so long. I'm about to take a few days off, a couple 6 packs and 2 buddies to the auto shop on base.

I just did the suspension on mine, first time woking with suspension and believe me its not hard at all. With the write ups on audiworld it is pretty damn easy. Except it was easy for me the second day when i found the write up for the install. The front passanger side took me like 4 hours, than once i had everything figgured out with a friend the other side only took 50 minutes to an hour. Once you do one side than the other side is easy since you know what to expect. Save the 600 dollars man put it towards something else.
