If you do it right - buying new parts and crap...its a very costly mod IMHO
You buy the arms - $few hundred
Realize that the bushings are crap-ola - $115 for mugen (the only thing you should get)
Realize that you cant press them in yourself because you dont have a press - $70/hr for labor and of course it takes 2hrs (for no reason
Get it home and think "now I need cables that fit" - another hundred for cables that fit
Next you see that you need a prop valve IF youre lucky enough to have an ex civic. If youre one of the majority who owns anything other than that you need an MC and a BB as well
Oh, now youre ready to put them on...nope, time to get new rotors and pads too because its a new mod..cant put the old crappy ones on!
Ok, finally youre ready...take a day off to do it, it falls on your foot and breaks a toe...hospital time
Now, you cant go for your runs/play ball/SHIFT GEARS so you cant have fun...
All for slightly better braking and bragging rights.
(Notice I didnt include trips to the hardware store for bolts that you need and paint if you decided that you wanted to do that....I did and it was another $15 in paint and a wire wheel...)
But I'll be damned if I didnt do it and damned if I wouldnt do it again w/ another civic
