All of those jobs are extremely simple. Honestly. As for the gears, I only know of great shops in sacramento....so I'm no help there. Don't worry about the wires....the driveshaft? Well, that's a matter of opinion. I love em, but understand mine was replacing an unbalanced stock steel piece. Anyway, you can have springs, plates, and brace (I'm guessing you mean strut tower) done and finished in about 2-3 hours tops. As for the pullies, that's a very easy job as well. Understand how much a shop will charge you for these items to be installed. Save yourself the money and buy something eles fun for the car!
