How much should I expect to pay?

For an install of Comptech springs and the rear camber kit? I got a quote of $370 from one place so far. That seems pretty darn steep to me...or is it?

Yea, I hear that. I need to buy a spring compressor though. Only $50...

So, $50 bux and a whole day (guessing thats what its going to take me), or $370....hmmm, your right, I'll just take the former. Whats the worst that could happen? lol...

It depends on which rear camber kit you have. You will need a ball joint tool if it's a SPC kit. Also, spend a little more on the spring compressor, as it will make the job a lot more enjoyable.

YA i definitely think you should do it yourself and as jtso said a good spring compressor makes the job 10 times easier there are alot of +'s to doin it yourself A) save money $$$$$ B) you know it is going to be done right and C) makes you a lil more car literate

although there are a few negatives such as taking up a day or screwing up its worth it.... if you take your sweet time make sure everything is right there should be no worries and i appreciate my car more the more i work on it my self but thats just me

I have used a few different sets and broke two of them. I later bought this one with great results. It's hydraulic so very easy to use. If you have the SPC rear kit, then I would recommend the Honda factory ball joint tool. Part # 07MAC-SL00200.
