Default Do these price seem right?

Hey, I just bought 2 new rear rotors, pads, and shim kits for my car; as well as Denso iridium plugs and stock lexus wires.

I just called a few shops and got these price quotes for labor.

Plug/Wire install will be around $80-$90
Rear rotor / pads will be around $95-$95

To get the resonators cut off the exhaust (guy said they are 15inches, i though they were shorter) is gonna cost around $75-$90 total.

Just wondering if these seem high...low...or fair. These are the first things I am having installed on the sc300 and dont wanna get taken.

1994 Sc300

Thanks

yes, maybe so; however, the install is for rear pads AND rotors

seems pretty high

i had my whole exhaust bent, mounted and welded for $100 cutting the resonators out isn't going to do a damn thing for performance at all; just make your car resonate more (and it won't be much louder at all)

plug wire install takes like 15-20 minutes; dunno why it costs that much

rotors and pads for $95 isn't too bad... but still kinda moderate

i'll never let a shop touch my car for little things like that; i'll do my own work unless it involves rebuilding the tranny or fabricating parts...
