You might want to think about doing the R&R yourself, taking the arms to the shop to have the joints swapped and then driving slowly to the shop to get aligned.
All I can think is that they are charging a lot for the parts as well.
That means $449 for parts, meaning $112.45 each. That's just crazy.
You could cut that in half easily just by buying the parts yourself,
assuming the shop will let you bring your own parts. In my experience
that usually depends on how much they like you :-)
