sorry, i worded that very oddly.
the labor cost for doing springs is the same as doing springs and shocks or the same as doing just the shocks. you can save labour costs by doing the springs and the shocks at the same time rather than putting the springs on and waiting for the stock shocks to blow or the ride to get really bad and then doing the shocks and struts because you have to. you are probably going to have to do the shocks down the road so it makes more sence to do them at the same time, or atleast i think it does. plus the car will handle better with a good set of aftermarket shocks and struts on srpings than the stockers will with those same springs!
a lot of people are having good results with the KYBs and getting them for a good price. i can get the koni's but they are as not cheap as the KYB's but many would say the koni's are also a much better shock... that is personal preference. i am not a KYB dealer nor have i had any exp with them in a focus, lots of honda's, so it's hard to directly compare them to each other.
i can work out a nice package deal if you decide to go with the Koni shocks along with the springs or if you are looking for something else at the same time.
