Still quite a bit... 1000.00 for basically a "cup-kit" and 470.00 for installation is still a bit steep.

I believe that all MINI dealers are having a promo on their hourly labor rates.
I recently spoke with my SA at Prestige and he said that they are having a special labor rate of $85.

I recently (January) bought the JCW suspension from Morristown for $1000.00 and had them do the install. They charged me $460 (about 4 hours of labor.) HOWEVER, you will also need an alignment which they charged $200. $200 is not a very good price. I just had a 4-wheel alignment done on my Toyota Highlander at a local shop for $97 including tax.

Morristown MINI did a good job. The only issue I had was that they neglected to mention that the JCW suspension set up introduces noticeable negative camber to the rear wheels. It was noiticeable enough for me to be concerned and contact the SA.
