How much can I expect to pay for spring installation?

I'm going to get a set of Neuspeed sports and lower my car. Every time I look at it, it looks more and more like a 4x4. I know the price of the springs, but how much did you guys pay to get them installed? I don't know that this is something I have the ability to do myself, so I thought this may be one of those things to let a shop do. I also suppose I need the rear camber kit... What is that going to run me?
Also, would anyone know this.... If I let Honda install them, can I keep the Warranty intact? I know the springs won't be in it, but the rest of the suspension would still be covered. Maybe?

Silver02EX is an unknown quantity at this point

I would say an average price would be around $100

d00d, I'm a complete idiot. my dad and I managed to put them in in about a day. Less than 6 hours total.

I've done nothing to a car ever, except put in my CAI...and this was much easier.

follow Vnlilman's DIY, and you'll be laughing! just make sure you have two jackstands, a nice jack, and some will power [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

good luck!

I have 2 jack stands, a 4500 lb. Jack, and I've got some time on weekends... If that's all it takes... Well, I guess I can do it. Do any directions come with the springs?

EDIT: After reading around on here some more.... I think it would be best that I wait until I can put new shocks in it as well. Given as much as I drive, and how crappy the roads are, theres no telling how long the stock shocks would last. Maybe next summer I can do it. Any suggestions for what can be done with about $200? All I've got is a CAI, and exhaust is a definate for next spring (no sense dragging a new exhaust through the snow all winter).

my neuspeed didn't come with directions... if you do attempt it, remember to look at all 3 DIYs. mine and like 3 other ones with pictures that arent as detailed but still help. also a spring compresser is highly recommended but not needed(just make sure you dont get killed or break anything). as for your first question, ya average cost is about $100. a couple places will do it for $80, i got mine done for $70. and others i've heard of someone even getting it done for $50.
