Right on, So what do you suggest DEFINITELY getting replaced with my Prokit and KYB install? I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible...hopefully under $500.

Its really not hard to drive a lowered car. Don't get discouraged. Its really easy.. Slow and angled are going to be your favorite words. Never ever ever never take a tall speed bump head on.. Unless of coarse you like getting laughed at...
You will learn how fast you can go over things the first time you smack the bottom of your car on the top of a speed bump... Always a great sound.. Reminds you that the concrete is not too forgiving.

Aright, I might send my prokit back then once i receive it and get the tein's. I just went to the local custom shop and they quoted me at $200 (give or take $20-30) and that includes the bushings I will need changed. This sound reasonable?

I think Chris (97BlackAckCL) got a set of Ebay. Theres 2 sets, one for like 100 and another for 200 some. If you search on there search for 94-97 Honda Accord Bushings, i think. Someone clear that up for me.

I got the master kit, listed below they have a bigger set but the labor would be insane, and they didn't offer it when I got mine

Right on man, thanks. I noticed that these only include bushings for the "front end" stuff, would I need any bushings for the rear of the car or no??
I just got an e-mail from a guy who can come to my house and do it..he's the "mobile Mechanic" adn is certified, here's his e-mail:
Hi labor for the springs and struts is 220.00 plus any bushings that would be needed. I have lowered quite a few vehicles, my work is all guaranteed but cannot waranty parts or problems related to parts supplied by customer. Thanks.

There are a LOT less bushings in the rear, just sway bar link bushings and control arm bushings, the majority of the bushings are on the moving parts of the front anyway. And if you plan on doing the whole front upgrade, expect your labor to go WAY up

At least the strut arm bushings and the control arm bushings, if you plan on gettting sways you can skip all the sway bar linkage bushings cuz sways come with all the bushings
