How much is the average to replace all suspension components plus manual transmission
I don't really want to buy another car, i want to keep mine and just restore to mint condition, what's the average prices to pay a shop to have suspension + transmission replaced? My car has 212000 miles but is salvaged title

Paying a shop is the killer.
Parts for entire suspension rebuilt, using something like the energy suspension poly master kit as a base and adding in things like compression rods, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, etc. Probably around $800
Rebuilt 6MT probably around $1200, or you can buy a brand new CD00A for $1800 which I would recommend if you had any transmission other than a CD009.
However the LABOR to replace all suspension components will probably end up being 18-20 hours, plus another 8 hours of labor for the transmission, shops usually charge $125/hr so the suspension is $2500 and the transmission is another $1200.
Basically it comes down to this, if you are paying a shop to perform any major repairs on a vehicle you are usually better off selling the vehicle and buying a newer / lower mile vehicle.
Or leasing vehicles and never worrying about repairs again. You can lease a 2019 beater commuter for under $200, hell right now you can BUY a brand new 2019 Nissan Versa for $12.5k because they're just giving them away to clear lot space for the redesigned 2020 versa.
