Cost of lowering
How much should one pay for the cost of lowering without the cost of springs? And if Using the Eibach prokit shoulds shocks on an EG with 100,000 be replaced?

a good shop should charge like 60 - 80 a wheel so like 220 to 240, and its always a good idea to upgrade shocks

Well lets not forget anyone who is experience with older hondas knows that you will need to replace the rear lower shock bushings, most likely messing up the rear strut lower mount in the process. Unless you do it on the car 
At least on this side of the states those rear lower bolts corrode to shi.t and sieze to the lower bushing insert. 100k you should replace your struts anyways.

what are you talking about, someone asked how much it should cost to lower a car. go sell your coilovers and quit posting dumb crap!
$80-100 for some dude with tools to get the crap lowered. Shocks are a real good idea with that kind of mileage, especially if you can afford them.

Re: Cost of lowering (ThaCivicAssassin)
You might as well do the shocks when you do the springs, no sense it taking it all back apart and doing it again.
It is a pretty simple job as well, if you have a jack and some basic hand tools, and you rent a spring compressor, you should be able to do it just fine.

Re: Cost of lowering (nomorehatch)
whether you go with coilovers or springs please do the struts and shocks at the same time or your ride will bounce all over the road. and also anytime you mess with the ride height you should get an alignment. altogether after doing the work myself it would have cost me like $300 for coils and shocks and $3 for some anti-seize. believe me you want to coat all the bolts you take out with this otherwise the bolts will rust weld themselves later and break off. and as far as replacing the rear bottom bushings, they have to be pressed in the lower arms and honda usually doesn't sell just the bushings. hope this helps
