It doesn't take enough effort to pay 150 to put cheap ass coilovers on. The type of car might make it a little more difficult but every set i've ever done i'd never charge that much. Specially to a friend.

I didn't know they made a universal coilover. I would buy something specific for your car.

I'd put new struts on also. Your going to need air tools and rent a spring compressor from an autoparts store to get the old spring off without killing someone. What type of car is it, the time all depends on that and your knowledge about it.

dont put those on stock struts... itll ride like shit and you're going to want to take them off almost instantly. Wait and do it right... seriously.

It won't be anything to unbarable, but it wont be the best ride. Plus eventually they well blow out on you. I doubt putting those on a Prelude will be any real big challange.

Are they made for your car or not? If not, bad idea homie.
