Some of them would be easy but many would require a press. I have 211,550 miles on my civic, that's a lot of road grime to get through

I've heard of people being quoted upwards of $500! It's a lot of work but there are ways to minimize the costs. You could try taking the control arms off the car yourself and just bringing them to a machine shop to press out the bushings. Everything else seems relatively easy in comparison. There are plenty of people here who can give you a better description of the DIY install process than I...

My kit cost $50/hour and took 13 hours. So you figure out the price. I just had it done last week.
Bumnah did his by himself.

13 hours seems like a long time for some reason.. I replaced my mounts in a few hours... but then again I'm not sure how hard it is to get the energy sus. bushings in the mounts...
