You will be fine! I think the CT springs are perfect. Check my website for pics. And you can install them without replacing the stock shocks. I had them over a year and the ride is still very comfortable.

Park Ave charges 255.00 for labor. Why is it so expensive elsewhere?

The entire process should take an experienced installer no more than 1.5 hours TOTAL.

Dealers are generally a rip off.

For those of you in the Kearny/Harrison area, my mother's next door neighbor owns a suspension/brake shop in Kearny called Kearny Brake & Wheel. He works on all types of cars and did the Baer brakes on my Camaro and springs on my IROC. He does do quite a few Hondas & Acuras too. His name is Joe Correia and tell him I sent you.

I charge 220.00 to swap springs, w/ a 4 wheel alignment +aiming of headlights+fogs. If you bring the rear camber kit I'll also install that for No/Charge. Over lapping labor...
CT springs w/o a system in the trunk you wont need it. With a system (60+lbs) you will.
H&R, eibach's or any others that drop you 1.75 you will need a rear camber. The front camber I havent seen a problem yet. The worst I've seen for the rear camber was 2 degrees
