is it a good deal

I just went to a local performance shop and got the following quote

AEM V2: $279 parts for #330 part+labor (I will do the install myself, maybe)

Tein H-tech: $208

Tokico non-adjustable shock(forget to ask but mut be HP I believe)
$83 each for front and $86 each for rear

Installation for spring and shock: $100

Installation for comptech headere: $100

Installation for UR pulley: refused to touch the engine.

Do I have a good deal?

I think the setup will give me 1.5F/1.0R drop and close to stock ride quality, it that right? I heard numerious threads that the Tokico HP blows very often, but the guy said he never saw a blow Tokico so far. It is a very serious problem due to the car weight or just a bad shock? Should I spend more for a Illumina?

I will have new sets of 18x7.5 +45 and 225x40x18 shoes next week. Will I rub with this setup with 5 people in the car, over bump, or hard turning? Many people has the same setup, but someone rub else don't. Can I go lower to HR Sport or even a Tein Basic?

Last thing is that I need someone to help on the correct p/n for tokico shocks, I have hard time to find it.

Thank you for your help....

Those are all pretty good deals. Install prices are cheap as well.

Overall with parts+installation, they are pretty good prices. For example, you can get the H-Tech springs for $150, but installation might cost more if you don't buy the parts directly from the tuner shop.
As for rubbing, we need to know the offset to know whether you will rub or not.

No, you should be fine. If anything, you might have to trim the fender.
