Just as good as any other store. Just that they don't over charge you like part source. Been buying parts from these shops for last little while with no problems.

I noticed depending on the part, either cawthra or hot spot will have it cheaper. Its like they choose who's gonna profit more on certain parts lol.

Buy a Haynes Manual and do it yourself, or with a friend. Like Martin said, it doesn't take too long. Sometimes they don't come out like they should, but you're returning that piece, so it doesn't matter it came apart. And sometimes the forks need to come off.

It's a bit of work, but not very hard, and a great learning experience.

Yes the fork will have to come off and so will the lower ball joint out of the knuckle. And dont forget to loosen the 32mm axle nut when the car is on the ground. A big breaker bar works all the time...though i have snapped 2x 1/2 drive breaker bars, after i got a 1" drive bar havent had a problem yet :P
