suspension install?

[stormrider]

Can anyone tell me how many hours the dealer will take to install the Ford Racing Handling package.
trying to figure out the cost for labor

There's no standard time for this. You really need to ask the dealer that you're considering using.

I would estimate about 2.5-3 hours. They would need to look it up and base it on the time needed to replace both front struts and springs plus both rear shocks and springs. Also they'll probably check and/or reset the alignment. When I did mine it took me around 4 hours on jack stands with hand tools. They should be able to do it quicker than that using a lift and air sockets to speed things up.

Most shops in fl quoted me 3 hrs which is what eibach estimates. I did my coilovers with a friend and basic hand tools with a Jack and two jackstands in 4 hours with a 1/2 hour lunch at a leisurly pace. A fairly easy install to do yourself if you follow the instructions listed in this forum.

This was telero's experience too.

I was quoted 408 at one dealer today and 500 at another.
Add another 79 / 89 for alignment respectively
kind of pricey

That's waaay cheaper than in Edmonton. 400$ for parts, and 800$ for install and alignment....

$400 for parts!? I realize you're Canadian, but I dont see how the price is so much higher than here? Our currencies are at par right now, so are duties and taxes that much higher, or is the dealer making a huge mark-up? The retail price here is $299.95 plus shipping, but you can get it from Tousley Ford in MN for $220 plus shipping. Heck, if you're being charged $1200 complete, you could drive to Tousley and have them install them, drive back across the border and probably still be saving money, even after subtracting gas(fill up here--ours is about 95 cents a liter)

[Captainmorbid]

Parity is a nice theory... I have and will again get stuff from Tousley, and I have considered driving to a few places in the States...

We charge 149.95 with alignment.
