Default Changing rear Sway bars a big and costly job?

Hello everyone, my 2 sway bars are bad on both sides. I purchased both sides from britishparts.co.uk for $142 bucks shipped, and they are OEM! Beats the quotes I was getting from jag bits and other Jag sources that wanted at least $125 per side. I just need to have them installed. Is this a costly job? As far as labor time what would you guys say? thanks.

I haven't done the job on a Jag, but the Japanese imports I've done have all been cake walks. Just dont forget to lube the bushings!

got the sway bars in. They look good. Had a alignment done and car seems like its driving well. I felt like the price was a bit steep as It was $180 to change both, and he was able to do both sides in less than 45 minutes! But i guess that he was "going by the book time" for labor costs.
