$500 or so is more like it unless your including new strutrods, idler arms and pitman arm. And the chances of him needing a whole new front end are pretty small.

If you take the springs out, make sure you replace the LCA bearing and the LCA strut rod bushing. Everything else can be done without the spring compressor.

I have had the $350 kit from ebay on for a few years now. Its ok but I'll get OEM next time. The Chinese rubber just isn't all that good. The metal bits seem to be holding up fine.
