How hard to replace front end links? DIY or not?

I would rank myself as a 2 (on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being master tech). Anyone with any experience doing this? 2001 A6 w/PSK. Installed H-sports (myself) a couple weeks ago and dealership says front endlinks and bushings are worn and need to be replaced with something beefier. (Car has 65k+ miles and we have had suspension clunking since the H-sports were installed.) Does $350 seem reasonable for this job?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not that hard to do if you can remove the whole suspension assembly. There are 3 bolts in the engine compartment, 1 at the end links (this one is a real pain - need lots of rust penetrant, WD-40, etc to loosen that bolt), and 1 where it meets the lower arm. That's the hardest part. I think there are options to savethe arm, but replace the bushings, but I don't know much about it. Good luck.
