Make sure if you do get this done by a garage you brief them on how to fit these properly. Or choose your garage carefully.
They will have to drop the sub frame a bit to allow the strutts out of the hub carriers on the front.
Remember to have new top mouint bushes and bearings for the front and new bushes for the rear
This should take no more than 3 hours barring any seized/snapped bolts.

You be cheaper to buy the tools needed for the job and start doing the jobs yourself.

shouldnt need to drop the subframe to get the struts out of the hubs willie....

tools to diy will be cheaper than a garage.

fitting costs will be circa 150quid for setup and alignment

As said you'll pay around the £150 area.

Fair enough, on the LCR you do, or you don't have to but it makes the job easier.
This is on the drivers side where the long drive shaft hits the sub frame
