you havnt bought them yet have you? i wouldnt, they make cheap headlights and stuff, i wouldnt trust them with suspension.
you can buy a good name brand one for about double the price, which would be worth it to me.
but it should be about 1-2.5 hrs labor, however much their labor rate is, prob 70-90 an hour

na, i didnt buy them.
Actually I went to a local suspension shop and asked how much it would cost for them to put my springs on, they quoted it at about 4.5 hours. I do think that they stretched the time out a little bit, but most shops are going to do that. My suggestion is if youre going to end up paying somebody to lower your car, you might as well go with coilovers. Youll end up spending more than the price of having coilovers put in when your stock shocks blow out and you have to have someone replace them.
i agree with vjf915. i wouldnt just put on springs, they will wear out your shocks sooner than it would otherwise. if youre going to lower it, go ahead and find some nice coilovers. i recommend the HFP suspension kit. very cheap for the performance you get. plus its made by honda for our cars specifically. what more can you ask for?
never heard of them, all conduct a search. thanks.
