It kinda depends on the route you go. I went the pretty much defacto way of lowering springs with new shocks. But I know a lot of people skip on the shocks and run stock shocks with my amount of lowering.

HR Sports ~ 300
KYB AGX ~ 700
Install labour ~ 150 - 350 (depending on whats seized and stuff)
_____________________________
Grand total ~ 1150 - 1350

But it's so worth it. Now I look back, I think I should have done this before everything else (tint/rims/intake). The only thing that I wouldv'e done at the same time is my tires, which I love (Kumho 712's)

That looks really good! I'd love to get my car lowered a bit, but my first priority is to get a nice set of rims. But seeing as buying the car completely tapped me out and now having to pay for school, it'll be like 10 years (after student loans are paid back, of course!) before I'll get any rims! lol So I guess that I'll be the resident "4x4" Civic since I'm totally stock!

Stock!
