Default Suspension overhaul

So I've tried searching, couldn't find what I was after, can anyone recommend a decent garage in or around the Chichester/Portsmouth area that can do the work properly, by which I mean,
Cut off control arms, replace with new ones, which have new polys in that I may or may not fit myself, all new bolts, new ball joints in the uppers, new drop links, and fit shocks with new set of springs on, braided brake hoses.

How high is high? There's a fair bit of work there

Oh, I was wondering about a place in Crawley called Austec Racing. Was thinking of trying them as they're closer for me. Maybe worth a shout?

I know someone at TDi in Essex, worst case is 2-2.5k they think, if all hell breaks loose that is.

All I'm after is labour really, I have all the parts required.

Do it yourself on the driveway. A few guys have done it, it's not that bad to be honest.

I don't have the space to do it myself, and I don't fancy the caster bolt either.
