Nope. Take the 200 and do this.
Get a floor jack 30
get jack stands 24
make sure you have a 1/2" 14mm (2.50)
Get a 18" breaker bar (15)
You also need a socket set with 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm.
Do it yourself. It just takes time.
Or, yes, the 200 is a good deal.

Re: coilovers
Forget paying for someone else to install your coilovers... Do it yourself. It's best if you build your own project car, learn something from it. But if youre lazy to do it yourself i guess yea.. 200

Re: coilovers (playabill19)
i put mine on myself and it was a lot easier than i though, if you have the right tools. It didnt take to long either. Its way better to do it yourself and put the 200 into the motor somewhere.

Re: coilovers (civicgsr19)
You GOTTA do it yourself..and if you REALLLY don't want to...talk to some guys around town, somebody might do it for free, or like 20 bucks cash or dinner, I know I would, but don't pay 200, unless that includes 20 free dinners to Shari's, an allignment, and a calender with some dolphins and kangaroos!!

Re: coilovers (buster13)
swapping in an entire coilover and shock assembly like teins for example, is just a simple out with the old, in with the new right?? No other things to do??

Re: coilovers (*****iechunkie)
Too Expensive to intall for $200.. No one do that price... I do it myself and it not that hard.. Go look up the internet about how to install lower spring on honda and sometime they will show some pics of installation... It is easy to do it yourself with your friend... I recommend you bring your friend help otherwise do it yourself is pretty hard.. good luck!

Re: coilovers (playabill19)
here is what you do, find a fellow h-t.com'er and pay them $50 to do it for you, and at the same time they could probably give you a run down on the process. I know I would do it for $50......there has to be someone in your area!

I would add a HELMS manual if you know NOTHING about your car
Helms helps alot with ANY other stuff on ur car
If u know how to turn a wrench, u know how to do it

DIYDS (Do it your darn self)
Not only will you know it's done right, but you'll gain valuable experience, start a tool set and you could charge other people to do simple stuff like that. Just think you too could be ripping someone off for 200 bucks to install some coilovers. I used to work on my friend's car for free all the time, then I got married and had 2 kids. The biggest reason I love Hondas is cause I'm never too intimidated to work on them, they're mostly simply designed cars.
