Installing shocks/inserts in a hurry

I know its a DIY job but I'm running out of time before a drive with my club on Sunday. I rang and got a quote of US$150 to replace the front and rear shocks (labor only - I already have the shocks and inserts). Is this price excessive for the job
I know its excessive for a DIY but I haven't any garage access at the moment, nor a hydraulic jack, nor the time, so my question stands.

Also how many of you found that the height of your car actually went up some when the new shocks/inserts were in place?

Thanks
Mark

Price sounds fair to me. My ride height went up about an inch all around with the install of Bilsteins.

Price sounds fair. Bilstein HD's raised my front 3/4" and rear 1". I think it depends on how blown out your current shocks are; mine were OEM Boges that were pretty tired after 86k.
