What do you guys think of the price?
How much would it be to get it installed at Midas or somewhere likt it?
Quality?
Drop?
Would I need anything else?

Thanks guys!

Probably between $200 and $300 for the install, you'll also want to look into a camber kit, assuming the drop is over 1.2".

I agree, any tire shop with charge you out the a$% to install them. I think they are priced reasonably

Keep in mind, you usually get what you pay for in regard to car parts.

The install is not too difficult, it's really only 3 bolts on top and 4 one the bottom that you have to remove. The difficulty comes when you run into roadblocks with the older, rusty parts on the car. At that point it's nice to have a shop nearby to grind or drill out sheared bolts and a Honda dealership to get new hardware (if needed). I sheared off the lower rear strut bolts on my 95 and they cost about $10 a piece at the stealership.

How do you guys feel about the tein S springs, would it be an allright right with the oem shocks? and If I belive right its a 2" in the front and 1.4" in the rear? I understand the camber kit is nesecery. I also hurd that it is very good springs and then I hurd there bad becouse they are not much performance. TRUE?
