My clutch has begun to slip. Needs replacing. Anyone replaced theirs and can tell me how much this will set me back?

I also have the left front cv axle starting to click. Haven't had a chance to see how bad the boots are yet. These I believe are like $160 a side, correct?

As long as you stay clear of the dealer it shouldn't be too bad. A clutch job on these cars is pretty straight-foward. I can't see it taking more than 3-4 hours for a professional.
 
I just replaced my Spec clutch with this one. For some reason, my Spec wore out faster than I would have liked. Picked up this clutch from www.*************.com, and have been a happy mofo since. Now that it is broken in, I have been laying on it it doesn't slip like the spec did. Then again, I had the Fidanza flywheel then, and now I have the stock flywheel back in.
