Time estimate for installing Pfadt suspension components

[bannonm]

Wondering if anyone has time estimates on installing the following Pfadt suspension parts. Looking for times it would take a shop to do it, not a DIY. Everything done at once.

Thanks

Solid Subframe mounts # 1410106
Rear control arms # 1410134
Engine mounts # 1420109
Front trailing arm sphericals # 1410117

Not sure if this helps you at all. I have Pfadt also, but different components and I was out at shops today doing the same thing. Coilovers, sway bar, trailing arm package and differential mounts. I got estimates from 6 to 8 hours for install. I think you have to drop the entire rear end off of the car to install the subframe mounts.

Yeah, I already installed the sways myself last year. Not doing coilovers until the new ones come out. Anxious to get the rest on now though despite the fact it would save some time doing the coilovers at the same time.

I asked about doing what I have now while I am waiting for Pfadt to make coilovers again, I picked up everything last month from Apex Pfadt sale, but it would be 2 hours extra install time and another alignment. I am going to wait for the coilovers and do it all at one time. How are you enjoying the sway bars?
I would really like to hear how long it took to install the subframe bushings, I was going to get them but had to stop buying stuff

I installed the Pfadt Trailing Arms, Tie Rods, Diff Bushings, Solid Subframe Mounts, and Engine Mounts along with my Stainless Works Headers with the help of a buddy who works at a shop. We went in on a closed day and threw the SS up on a lift and got to work. For everything it took about 8-8.5 hours... now take 1-2 hours away for the Headers we did and I would say it can be done in about 6-7 total for the parts I had. That was with like 2 15 minute breaks or so.

Now, with having a shop do it... knowing how they estimate hours you could easily be billed for like 9-10 and that wouldn't surprise me.

Check out my build thread for pics of the install (I forgot the Camera that day so we had to use a crappy cell phone but you get the idea)

Good luck and enjoy the Pfadt suspension components

Well you're probably looking at 8ish hours to do the work you're looking for. The total hours could change depending on the shops familiarity with the 5th Gen.

Probably 4 hours to do the rear subframe. It's going to need to be completely removed from the chassis to do the rear subframe mounts. While they're in there they can swap out the Trailing Arms and Toe Rods in probably 1/2 hour... most of that work will be easier while the subframe is on the ground anyway.

Figure 2 hours for Trailing Arms and Engine Mounts. If you're familiar with the Camaro and have the right tools and a lift you can knock both of these out in a real hurry, but if this is one of the first Camaro's they've seen in their shop it may take a little more time.

I think 8 hours would be a reasonable estimate.
