Rear swaybar help in Phx area

I'm interested in a 19mm asb. I got a quote from Dynocomp in Scottsdale: $200 for the bar, 3-4 hrs labor @ $100/hr. That's too rich for my blood. Anyone else have a recommendation in the area. There was a place in Mesa listed in an old thread but their link didn't show up. Thanks.

I can't help you on shop recomendations, but I can tell you that 3-4 hours for an install is a bit on the high side. This job should take a pro less than 2 hours no problem.

I did mine by myself in my garage in 1 hour and 15 minutes total time. That time included jacking it up onto 4 jackstands.
I'd reccomend the H&R 19mm bar with the impregnated graphite bushings. No squeaks!!!
