I would be prepared for it to be between 4 and 6 hours labour charged. Depends on the shop. I had to take one car into a shop a year ago for two VERY (embarrassingly so) small things. It was in the bay 50 minutes. I was charged 1.5 hrs @ $120/hr -- each item booked at .75/hr. Not planning a repeat performance anytime soon.

Lemfoerder, Carlyn or Corteco mounts would be a better idea. Anything made by URO should be expected to be good for 6-12 months. Lots of stories to support that on all the boards, BMW, VW, you name it.

You want to take a chance to save a few $$$ now on the mounts and pay again next year, at possibly more than $97 per hour, to do it again?

As to why PP and others sell Uro products, answer is just about everyone does because a large segment of the online shopping population buys on price alone so they have to offer a low-line alternative to compete. Lots of discussion on this board on how some established parts names are now shipping substandard stuff as well.
