its a habit of shops to price out jobs they don't really want to do

easier than telling you they won't do it

[gradg]

Whats easy is doing the job yourself ;)

And it costs you nothing :D

The coil conversion is a matter of cut and joining 8 wires and drilling 4 screws to hold the brackets down.

its really a small job to do.. and specially if they work on subarus? and specially if u are supplyin them with colis and leads!?

some people quote rediculous prices sometimes simply because they dont want to do it...

quote u a high price, makes u think this is expensive, so you will pass on the offer, means they dont have to waste time on it, if they were busy

.. or maybe they just dont know wtf a coil conversion involves. No one in their right mind could ask you to pay that much?

[likenother]

Man i got quoted $250 but $600 should tell them they are dreaming

yep, not a fan either

they owe me a radiator full of coolant and a change of brake fluid

250 is aiight not bad !! where MrT?

[oversteer]

If someone is suppling everything and doing it for 250 it means they are working for ~ $50 all up(coils,leads,bolts,plugs supplied). $50 doesn`t get you much these days, might not get a quality job either !

$350 is a fair price drive in drive out for a Bosch coil conversion.

$600 is piss off buddy I`m busy.

best advice is to follow the tech faq. i did and it was done in aronud and hour. i paid $40ea for the coils, bought leads off a member for $50. all up cost me

$210

[V8eta]

Yep, the guide in the tech section details everything really well, its an easy job to do.

[LMP420]

yep the tech faq is easy to follow and easy to do, i was putting off doin it then made the effort and it ended up been easy peasy. got brand new coils off here + leads for $155 + $5 for female connectors.. all done for $160..

me = stoked :)
