man, I need to quintuple my rates if this is $10k worth of work and parts… last time i did a full bushing kit was on an FC, took ~ 6hrs with frozen bolts to contend with. Not sure about you, since you’ve only been doing this for a few years now, but that works out, with a prothane full kit. ~ $500… powder coating calipers, with sandblasting is ~$250 … with all those product parts listed…

> Brake Upgrade: Russell Stainless Steel Braided brake lines, powder coated callipers, EBC pads and rotors.  
> Suspension package: Tokico adjustable struts, Swift performance springs, Full urethane bushing kit.  
> Full Custom stainless exhaust.  
> Custom cold air intake.  
> Fuel system upgrade.

with similar parts using koni/Eibach/hyperco/Esplier/prothane/ Full custom exhaust/CAI… fuel upgrades…

LOL $10G… wow thats like $5G++ profit potential… but I suppose it’s for charity and you need to up sell the product for a good tax write off and to make it sound juicy.

And free is free… so hey label it what you will… I would not even have bothered to comment except you pulled out that idiot statement about, " good luck finding anyone else to do it for less ", crap… like you were some sort of great deal fairy come to bless those around you with good deals…

> As for the performance package, it includes all the labour to install all of these parts. We are not painting your calipers either, powdercoating requires full dis-assembly of each caliper and then a full rebuild. Also when is the last time you installed a full urethane bushing kit? That requires basically every part of you suspention to be taken off the car and the old bushings pressed out. Again something that is very labour intensive.  
> Good luck going to any shop and dropping a list like that and paying less than that.
