I plan on doing the work myself, but I'm curious as to what you think a shop may charge. |
Doing a front & rear refresh is a lot of work. Most people do the front first & then the rear second in separate jobs.
I've done both….

I think that's the kit you are referring too..
I would get M3 differential bushings not included in the kit. I'd also get a new, rear diff bushings.

The remaining bushings in the rear subframe probably don't need to be replaced now, but will start wearing out in the next 25,000 miles.
You should consider doing SS brake lines while you have the rear subframe out. They are considerably easier to do when it's out of way.
