It was $660 shipped from College Hills Honda, plus $322 for install (from dealership), plus $70 for alignment. I know I probably could have gotten a better price if I shopped around and did the install myself or went somewhere other than the dealership, but to be totally honest, I don't know if I trust installs to other places except the dealership (plus I get warranty on the install this way as well), and I definitely didn't trust myself enough with installing a new suspension (I'd probably do the installs myself on such things as intake, exhaust, and headers install when/if I ever get the money to do them, but suspension was a bit out of my league)

Overall though, not a bad price, seeing as how if you get the suspension kit from the dealership when you get the car, it costs $1100 (according to the pamphlet by the SI), so I saved 50 bucks (or only 48 bucks for those of you who did the math and are calling me a liar)!

I'd rather have peace of mind on the install and trust from the company I am purchasing the product from for a little extra cash, than go the cheaper route and possibly have problems in the future. But thats just me.

Took a while to save up enough money to get this, but I'd say it was well worth it!

PS, you are right about the rice comment, I was out of line! For the love of god I'm sorry!!!
