So my indy (Bay Area, CA) quoted me $3,340 for the IMS bearing from LN, clutch kit, and the miscellaneous parts. 
     Break Down: 
              - Clutch Kit - $831 
              - LN IMS Bearing - $849 
              - Labor - 9.7hrs @150/hr = $1,470 
 
A - Does this seem like a fair estimate? Is the Sachs clutch kit of comparable quality? 
B - Is there anything else I should have him look at / do while he's in there? 
C - I've replaced basically everything on my front and rear suspension DIY - how challenging would this be to do myself? Obviously I don't want to f-up my car, but it would be rewarding and I could save about $2k by doing it myself.

The RMS is a no brainer and I'm not sure if the kit includes the release bearing or not. Also, scrutize the flywheel. Not every mechanic does but while you are in there . . . . Pricy but while you are in there . . . 
I had the whole works done plus a brake/clutch fluid change 2 years ago and it came to ~$5K CDN so using today's exchange rate that is ~$3,800 USD. So considering the flywheel your $3,349 doesn't sound too bad.
PS Mine has the Sachs and it works beautifully.
