Make sure you lube up the LCA bolts and if you are changing out your OEM Suspension, I would use a spring compressor so you don't kill yourself. It's VERY dangerous w/o one and you can pick them up at Auto Zone, Pep Boys for a refundable fee ($50). Also....check out http://www.bseries.net They have a good install page for Integra's. Good Luck and if you need anything e-mail me or IM me.

I'm assuming your going to have to take apart your stock shocks so that you can re-use the top spring cap, bumpstop, maybe some washers and dustboot, etc... along w/ your socket set (i think most of the bolts are either 10MM, 14mm or 17mm).. and spring compressor, your going to need a hex key set to hold the middle shock rod stationary while you use a 14 MM open end/combination wrench and turn on the top nut ... soak the bolts to they dont seize/stick..
here are the things I used (this is from memory..so some of the sizes may be off): Jack, jack stands, ratchet and socket sets (i think it was 10mm for the brake lines, 14 or 17mm for the other bolts on the LCA, and such), 14 mm open end/combination wrench for the shock cap, spring compressor to compress stock springs, hex key (5 or 7mm i forget) to hold the shock rod on stock shocks stationary while you turn the 14mm top bolt w/ a combination wrench, gloves.. or else your hands are going to be dirty as hell... good luck.. u should get by w/ the bseries.net instructions..
