You like the turbo? You have to pay... You get what you pay for.
Really does not seem excessive. Let's see:
$300 DIC
$300 brakes all around, including new rotors
$400 control arms (OEM)
$18 plugs (OEM)
Other than DIC, all items are regular maintenance. The costs are in line with any other make/model like Honda/Toyota.
Suspension components do wear out. It is a function of your driving and local road conditions. In some locations you will be replacing ball joints every 10k miles.
Brakes are wear items, plus they also depend on driving style. Driving around town will wear them out a lot quicker, especially if it's auto tranny. Also some people have poor braking skills. For example, I replace my sister's pads every 10k miles.
