take it you mean the roll bar drop links, then about 1 hour labour for the pair plus parts, but certainly less than your quote

The anti roll bars will not need replacing unless the car has been involved in an accident.They are their to steady the roll of the car when cornering.They are attached to the car by rubber bushes and it is these that need replacing.A good DIY man can do this quiteeasily for around say 25pounds. l have encountered the same problem with this model before and on investigation the dealer was simply trying it on.

that sound a bit extreme. can not think it will be the actual bars that need replacing. Maybe the anti roll bar bushes will need replacing as they do wear with age, not familiar with ur model so can not be certain.
It is a part of the car that helps keep the alignment of ur car true & ensures minimal roll when cornering etc.
get another quote elsewhere it costs nothing for a second oppinion. main dealers r always more expensive, maybe try a local garage thats not a main dealer, their labours cheaper. if ur a bit of a diy man, buy a haynes manual £15 & do it yourself. they're not to difficult if u have a socket set, you,ll need to put ur car on blocks & let the front suspension hang free. good luck
