Excuse when I say you'd be an idiot to pay that. Besides the brake lines and calipers everything is really bolt on, bolt off type stuff. I'm you have a buddy or SOMEONE that would be able to help you. Seriously. Go to the local parts place and get a price on just the parts. Your paying a lot in labor, and probably a 60% markup on parts.

And just to be in someones defense, its not idiotic unless you KNOW you are getting robbed and going ahead with it anyway.

We are here to help everyone and one another as much as we can. Hopefully this is a learning experience for ANYONE out there. Shops will take advantage of anyone out there they can, if they can.
