Use the search feature. This same subject has been covered numerous times in the past month.
But, about $300 for quality springs, $600-$1000 for Koni's, $300 for a camber kit cause the Skunks are so low, and at least $1500 for a decent set of lighter weight wheels and tires to replace the heavy *** Motegis.

Used H&R sports $200
NEW Tokico blues $400
Installation of above: $75
Total: $675, Installed.
No chamber kit necessary if you stay around 1.5" drop (more than enough), and don't go over size with rims (16" would be the max size to avoid problems...)

i love when ppl say no camber kit is necesary if u dont go over such and such a drop. only way to tell if u need a camber kit is by taking it in for an alignment and getting your camber measured. my car is only 1.5" drop and i have -2.5 camber.

your absolutly correct!
what it comes down to is how much is too much negative camber...

I do too. Honda's don't quite sit level I find. Just get a camber kit Rick, you obviously need one 
As for you shlammed, your worn balljoints would cause the bad camber too... it should improve once everything is refreshed!

ya i know i need one.... i'm just burning off my snow tires then hopefully by the time they are toast i will be working so i can afford such things...
thats why it would be hot to get a k series engine under the hood so the weight would be more on the passenger side on the engine bay so it would balance with me in the car
