Default Any shop you guys recommend to upgrade? (with fair price)

Here's the story! I bring in my car to one of the local shop and ask for an estimate to install the aftermarket parts, they estimate installing sway bar, clutch and 2 front wheel bearing for 750!!!! I am like, this things are suppose to be easy to install, 750 is way over priced!!!

So do you guys have any fair priced shop in LA area?

Even then, that's too much for a clutch job. Should be more like $250-300 at most.

Good deal on the clutch, let them do that. Talk to MyFirst06350Z here on the forums, he can probably install the rest of it for a much better price.
