Price Tag for suspension Upgrade!

I have been shopping around for new springs and shocks and I found this one site and I wanted y'alls opinion on their prices! Do you guys think that 620 dollars including shipping is too much for a complete set(4 for the late person)of Tokico HP shocks/struts and a set of H&R Springs? Let me know if you guys know where i can get these products cheaper if that is indeed too much! I actually think that is a pretty damn good deal considering the quality of the products! Thanks in advance for your comments!

wonderz is on a distinguished road
i think its pretty good. i mean you can probably find it for a bit cheaper, but not by much. if the site is reputable, i would just get it there.

You need a camber kit too. So tack on another $130.

Everything under $450.

Prices wont vary a whole lot. I would just buy from a vendor on the site to support them, and to ensure that you are going to get your products promptly. I just bought my springs, and camber kit from Edward at TrueHonda and I was very impressed with the price, and service.

I wouldnt buy used springs personaly, esspecialy because your going new on everything else. But yes, H&R and Tokico are awsome.

way too much used. You can find a much better deal new. SLP will hook up struts and maybe front camber kit still for 370 shipped, I ordered goldlines from robear for 145 shipped. I got spc rear camber kit for 129 picked up a few miles away.

145
370
129
644

not bad for 644, unless I added wrong. Shop around, find reputable shops, and youll get a better deal, IMO

im not a fan of used auto parts! Nothing against people who have used parts but I want to be sure that if something goes wrong with a product i will automatically know that it has nothing to do with the age and previous condition of the product since its new! Plus Id rather deal with a merchant with the warranty rather than haggling with the person who sold me the used items! thanks for everyone's input!

Yeah, you can get some new springs for like $140, some new struts on ebay for around $350 (including shipping) and its a couple bills under what you are looking at.
