   Get yourself a set price. Its bollocks to be honest that places should suddenly whip up the price claiming that parts are "seized". If you have no idea then theres nothing stopping them from telling you that anyway and charging full whack.
   
   Id also question very thoroughly which method they use to lower the rear. Even if you're not confident enough to try it yourself then at least read and familiarise yourself with the guides so you know the procedure and know that the place will be doing it correctly.
   
   There are alot of places out there that use the incorrect method which for them is quicker when time means money, however it has the potential to cause damage to various parts of/within your beam, and is never accurate
