Around $600 for skunk2 coilovers installed. Not sure about KYB's. If your going to do coilovers you mind as well do your struts while your suspensions is dropped at the time.:thumbsup:

If you're going to drop the car a lot, get a camber kit installed at the same time and yourself A LOT of money in rubber down the road.

Depends on what rims you have.
With my 17's and coilovers, I need the negative camber, so a kit is going to do me more harm than good.
On the other hand, it completely depends on your car.

On the other hand, it completely depends on your car. Most lowered hondas end up with WAY more negative camber than you want on a street car, and the lower the car gets the worse it gets. I've lost count of how many I see running around with 3+ degrees of negative camber. Besides, most kits are adjustable, its not like you can only take out negative camber with them. Crash bolts or camber plates will adjust in both directions.

I work at a tire shop and I always laugh when the kids com in with cut springs and their wheels are visibly angled. They want to know why their tires keep wearing out so fast! HAHA
