I'll echo what others have said - that is a big number for those items.

Complete fr susp re-do is like $1000 - $1200 all in, less if you go with...I think it's FRP (full kit is ~$300 - labor should be around ~$500 I think).
CV boots shouldn’t cost but a few (I know I can get then rebuilt for like $75 ea here in Denver Some sensors and brake pads...
Only thing I have no idea about is the rack.  I'm thinking all that stuff should be no more than $3000 on high end.
And yeah a lot of it is DIY-able.  If the front suspension is original that could potentially be very tough - I've done a few sets, but had an original 13 yr old set on the wife's Passat make me throw in the towel and call in reinforcements (pro's).
