Rip Off Merchants!

I've just received my H&R Springs and was looking for a place to install them, so I figured who better to work on the suspension of the 8, than a Mazda dealer.
I called AMR Mazda at Petersham here in Sydney and would you believe what they quoted me just to install the springs?
$495
That doesn't even include a wheel alignment nor a loan vehicle.
I know there are local companies who will lower your car for $400 supplied and fitted using locally made springs, so obviously the labour shouldn't be too high.
But $495 just to install?
I may have to rethink where I'm going to take my car for servicing in future since God knows how much they're ripping me off that!

I ended up paying $180 to get them installed. Pics of the finished product are here:
