Yeah...probably about $400-600 and maybe two days or less.
Problem is you bent more than the strut...probably the radius rod too.
Replacing the strut is relatively easy, but the shock cartridge has to be replaced too. And they get replaced in pairs, so if you bent one side, the other strut cartridge has to be replaced too. Do yourself a favor and have Bilsteins put in when you do it...you can put Bilsteins in the rear yourself.
Now is the time to drop the car with IPD springs...only costs the spring, the labor is still the same.
When they replace the strut and radius r9d they'll probably find the cone bushings in the radius rod need to be replaced, if not the ball joints. The bushings are about $20 list and so are the balljoints, so if you don't have them done (highly recommend the cone bushings if you have >60K on them) you can knock off $100 or so. Oh yes...add another $80 or so for four wheel alignment when you're done.
