Lemfoerder LBJ or use another.

So I have my order ready to place with Peach. All Lemfoerder parts except for the control arm bushing they put in is Febi.

The tool to put the LBJ in is 500 bucks! (the rest of the entire order is only 335) so, it makes no sense to buy 1 tool that cost almost twice what all the other parts together cost.

Which begs me to ask the question, should I go with another LBJ that does not require THAT special tool to install? I'm taking the car to a local shop that does most my work like this and I know they will not have the Lem tool.

What are my choices?

Should I take the control arms over to MB and have them do it? Not really an option cause the cost of them doing it would most likely be as much as the tool... total bend over job there.

There are no Indy's in the Chattanooga area that can do it either. I have called around and asked. They suggest taking them to at a machine shop, and the machine shops say they can't do it...arg.
