eh, its really not that bad. its pretty much just a bolt on thing. if you have done a bit of wrenching, youll be fine. you need to make sure the setup comes with th ecables though, yours wont work. and it would be a good idea to get all you suspension set up the way you want at the same time, then getting a professional alignment, as changing the rear brakes will mess up your toa angles at the least.

Mine ran me a grand total of 160 WITH new cables, pads, and rotors...as far as putting them on...be sure you have a torch, a good breaker bar and quality sockets, a wise grip, a jack + stands, a hammer, an empty gas tank and a few spare bolts from honda (I can get you the part#'s) as the old ones break easily (Heat them up and they might not break, but the old bushings will become useless)
