Sounds expensive to me. Are they going to do a full laser geometry adjustment after fitting the coilovers? If so, it's about right.

Mike Rivett will do a clutch for £150, he's near Dorking, dare I say he'll fit the springs for less too.

Where you getting it fitted? As you're a local lad I'm wondering if you're using GDA.

Yep, sounds expensive.
My car was in a garage last week,
Got headers, turbo, injectors, fuel pump, calipers, disk + pads..

All parts supplied by me, but labour came to £400.

Typical price for a Scooby clutch supplied and fitted, same day, arranged in advance is £300. Top workmanship by one of three specialists. North East England.
I think I saw Scoobyclinic advertising for less and they seem to be popular with those that have used them.
Where are you located.

Does sound a little high for Graham to charge. You mentioned, *cough* cash *cough*

Can't remember what he charged me for changing my clutch (was a new helix clutch and new flywheel as mine was totally mullered ). I would look but recipts are in the UK and I'm not. I will say that they are bloody good at GDA and do know what they are doing, so maybe it's not that bad a price.

I agree Graham does know what he's talking about but £50 ph - he's hardly main dealer (not that they're any cop!)

I might mention *ahem* C A S H

Alternatively theres xtreme and the like to consider etc etc

I might just try and get another few hundred miles out of it before I change it
