What do you guys think would be a reasonable amount to pay for installing the Subframe Bushing Support Kit?
It’s a 20 minute job with an impact…so not much.

Oh wow that's pretty quick. I was looking at the Steeda website after and they say 2hr job. Guess for someone laying on their driveway with a ratchet n sockets

You should check the existing single bolt as it is almost certainly bent. Mine was. I replaced the bolt and installed the Steeda brace fairly quickly on ramps in my drive, but I was checking the entire undercarriage carefully as I hadn’t been under the car in a long while.

Do you have a tune installed? Just wanted to know if an ST without a tune would bend the bolt.

Mine bent the one bolt when I was stock. One of the reasons I replaced it with a 2 bolt subframe.
