Getting a kit (questions)

I am probably getting my kit within a few weeks. I was wondering though, would it be a problem to add a camber kit or shocks later? I heard some people had problems with shops not wanting to lift their car after they had the kit installed. Are there any parts I should add before my kit? Heres my current set-up : 17" rims, 215/40 tires, neuspeed race springs (2.25f/2.0r). Also, what is a fair price for install and paint (I know it varies, but just let me know what you paid in your area). THANKS!

if you don't have coilovers, which you don't then yes it might become a problem because there is no way of you adjusting your hight. I advise that you go the shop were you are plaining on getting these things done and asking them, but to be safe i would put all the camber kit and shocks on first.

get coilovers and raise your car to about 2". you'll scrape you kit to hell and yeh its a bitch to lift a car with sideskirts being that low. i suggest coilovers and a camber kit to save your tires then go kit.

hmmm....damn. well - I guess the kit is going to have to wait for release of the Tokicos then. And I just bought these springs, coilovers aren't an option right now. Would removing the sideskirts to do the shocks be that big of a deal? Isn't it just some bolts and two sided tape holding them on? How involved will it be? Oh, and on second thought I think I am gonna get the camber kit/alignment before the kit, makes more sense. Thanks again!
