Civic EG

i was wondering if n e one here could give me a ballpark price range, or atleast at what point i would be getting robbed for installing a KYB AGX system. the only place i've looked at said it could be up to $750. thats labor only. that included installing adjustable front and rear camber kits, which thanks to teal dx, i now know i can do. i was wondering if there was n e more than the camber kits i could do myself with basic tools. i assume i would need a spring compressor and probly more to do it all, but could some one shed some light on my situation? thanks everyone.

Well for $750 you can go and get a complete full bodied Coil over kit. Something like Ksport, Tien, Form and Function and PIC Performance Apex. All of those would be a straigh bolt on affair. No need for a spring compressor or anything. Just your basic wrachet and 14, 12 and 17mm sockets.

would the skunk2 proS systems be one of those bolt on kits?

Yea, the Pro S and Pro C

I think for that $750 labor you are getting ripped off.. As Greasedmonkey said, there are full bodied coilovers set-ups out there now that makes it super easy to add it to your ride. Even a newb like me learned to install it with very little supervision from my mentor.

For $750 you can buy some of these coilovers that I can think about because they were on my list before: Tein basics, Ksports, Skunk2 Pro-S, Function & Form, and Blox racing. Those guys are around that $500-800 range, and you won't need any spring compressor for these guys.

And as for the camber kits, they are installed during your coilover installation. I'm not pretty sure about camber kits tho, just ask the more knowledgeable people here. I only have a kit on my front and not on my rear.

Goodluck!

thanks for all the help guys, i'll come back n let ya know the progress. i just hope the knocking noise in my back passenger side will be solved by this. i think its a strut take it easy

I have never known a strut to make a knocking noise. Check all your bushings and bolts before buying anything.

u have a knocking noise u say?. sounds like a shock bushing is either missing or is shot

and koni/gc is a great setup and as easy to intall as a full coilover set up

yea, i was thinkin that it was like a trailing arm bushing or somethin, but idk, then a friend told me that his ef was makin a similar noise and was gon after doin a coilover kit. should i just look for a cracked or missing bush??? + a few threads down they talk about bushings failing due to lowering, is this something im going to have to deal with? if so, why/how? thanks guys
