Hey guys, I am currently in Iraq and for the most part, my wife handles all of my car upgrades for me. I am kind of stuck on where to take my car in the San Bernardino area to get the upper strut bars, the sway bars and endlinks installed. I can do the work myself of course, but when I come home on vacation in a week or so, that is the last thing that I want to do is work on my car. I love doing it, but the Misses would be super hot with me. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All that is like less than a one hour install if she knows how to do it.

There are several reputable shops near your area listed here: https://www.rx8club.com/west-rx-8-forum-34/socal-lounge-139025/

You know what, exactly! Mazda quoted her 5.5 hours of labor and wanted to charge a grand total of $450.

Is roughly a 1-2hr job... Depends on how familiar you are with taking out the front bar and how many times the suspension parts have been broken loose already...

If you haven't done either multiple times, no way in hell you are doing front and back within an hr or even 2.

Yeah, they have never been taken off or changed.

That's what impact tools are for.

Renesis SE3P, most of those shops are quite far from San Bearnardino right? I am really not to familiar with the area. I have only lived in Cali for about 8 months and I have spent most of that time overseas.
