Is 200 bucks a good price for coilover installation?

 

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.

 

I priced installation at $150.00. I suggest you do it yourself, it isn't that hard after you install the first one. 200.00 is a bit pricey.

 

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

 

i just don't want to mess up. I have barely if any auto knowledge

 

putting the coil-overs in isn't bad just take your time taking out the old springs you got to be careful. everything else is a just like a big puzzle

 

oh yea....ADD DURALUBE or wd40 to that list...dam the rust!

 

if you take your time and you have the proper tools, everything should go just fine. i'm not exactly sure how it is on a civic, but i put aftermarket shocks in my friend's accord and it was fairly straightforward; just a few bolts at each corner. you don't have to be technically proficient to do this and it's definitely not worth 200 bucks for someone else to do it for you.

I would`t pay more than $60

 

it's really not too bad of a job, just get a friend to help you
$200 is way too much

 

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.

 

Just curious. If you have no knowledge of cars, Why are you installing/getting coilovers?

 

Then keep your car stock, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself, i guarentee that the shop will mess something up.

 

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!!

 

Same here. It pretty easy to lower a Honda. For paying, I would've said $100.

 

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??

 

the best thing to do would be to learn to do it yorself. cuz in this hobbie you can't not learn abot your ****, yah know what i mean. so take your tools get a garage and do it

 

if you dont know anything about "autos" then dont waste your time and embarass all the people that took the time to learn

 

give me $200 and i'll do it for you and buy you lunch............j/k no $200 is crazy. wouldnt pay more than $60............

 

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!

hope that helps...

 

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

i know it's not a coilver, but still helps

 

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.
