Just think $500 is a little steep. I'd like to get it around $500 for the whole package- springs, alignment, and labor. I don't think thats unreasonable but we shall see.

I might take you up on that...
I have had a lot of work done at Brown's. I have had three Nissan's and I think they are pretty fair in their prices. Keep in mind that the dealerships have people that are trained on your specific car, whereas general garages know a lot about cars, just not necessarily your car. I know dealerships can get a bad rap, but I think if you go in and talk to the service guys for a little bit and ask for a discount, you might just get it done for what you are looking to spend.

You had to have an overhaul on your timing belt already? I have over 77k on mine and haven't had any issues yet. How many miles on your Z? What caused the need for a new timing belt? Should I be worried with my high mileage? Was the repair covered under warranty? I hope so!
