I went with comptech... I think your preference is way too low for me.

Just curios how much springs would end up costing? Including the price of the Springs, Camber (if necessary), Alignment (if necessary), new shocks (if necessary), plus installation. I am debating on Springs or Coilovers.

This is what i paid :

Spring + Install : $360
Camber Kit + Install : $200
Alignment : $70
Total : $630

I had to pay more because the front of the car won't go on the ramp without scraping... the alignment shop put a little more work to put my car on the ramp and did not scrape the front.

Thanks for the information. That seems pretty reasonable. My local dealer was quoting me rediculous prices for Comptech install. Did you install the Camber kit right away, or did you wait? Which camber kit did you use? And do you mind if I ask where you got springs and camber kit?

I waited 2 weeks to do alignment and after i found out my right rear was off factory specs, i bought a camber kit. So i got the camber kit installed after 3 weeks. You may not need to buy one depending on the results of your alignment check.

I get all my goodies through an aftermarket shop that i always go to.

I had the eibach prokit which lowers nearly the same (give or take .1 inch) as the H&R Race Springs. I loved the new look, very very aggressive stance, only problem was u had to go into and out of every driveway at a 30 degree angle at least or your bound to scartch, and lots of driveways you just cant escape scratching. Ride quality was noteably more harsh. I just ordered the H&R Sports

I have a set of the tein s-tech springs that lower 2.1f and 1.7r. The ride was nice and soft. I traded my car in for a mdx so if your intrested in the springs let me know. I'll do the srpings for $125 shipped. I also have the tokico struts if your intrested. They where only used for 4 months exactly.
