Does This Sound Like a Fair Price?

I have decided to go with the ACT Xtreme Clutch and Fidanza Flywheel and I got this pricing from my local speed shop:

ACT Xtreme Clutch - $539.00
Fidanza Flywheel - $379.00
Installation - $500.00

Total out the door - $1,418.00


Is this a good deal?

Get the part numbers and check Ebay. 500$ Sounds good for an install. I would pay it...as long as the shop is a good one.

Well I charge $300 to install a clutch and that is in my own garage so $500 does not seem that bad. How many hours do they say it is going to take? Have they done this job to an EVO b4?

Most shops around here want well over $700 to do the job and thats not including a flywheel install. Heck, the dealer is cheaper than all of the performance shops come to think of it.

They say it will take around 10 hrs to do the job and they have a good reputation for evo's, st-i's, and audi's. So as far as I know and from what I have been told they do good work.
