I was wondering what you guys think a good price is for installing tein basic coilovers, camber kit front and rear, and lcas. Also, any good shops to go to in the san diego area?

 

why dont you do it yourself? its pretty simple and self explanitory, and it'll probably take a few hours. Shops will probably charge you $150+ just install that crap.

 

I would reccomend just doing it yourself... Free and a great learning experience.

 

I dont think it would be that easy. I don't have many tools and ive heard the lcas are a bitch.

 

If LCA's are a bitch for everyone else here, imagine the labor charges if you get a gararge to do everything for you.

 

I know its going to cost money but i dont really have the confidence, patience, time or anything to do it myself. unless i had someone knowlegable helping me. which i dont. any one in the north county sd area down to help me?

 

You're replacing the LCAs too? If that's the case, I would do it myself.

Why not attend a couple of Integra meets and get to know a few Integra owners that are willing to help you install it.

A shop would probably charge about $250-300 w/ alignment.

 

i would help you if I lived down there, but i'm way up norcal.... since we live in CA, we don't have to worry about rust, with that said, taking off the lca's isn't that hard. I just did my lca's on my 12 year old car, and it was suprisingly easier than what I thought. I think team integra might have a write up on how to do the install.

all the tools you basically need.... jack, jack stands, your honda jack/spare jack, 10, 12, 14, 17mm socket and wrenches, and a friend to help speed up the process.

 

I bought my car last year and its a 2000. IT looks like it used to be owned somewhere with some serious weather. The clear coat on my blades are chipping. Still, i would be more confident with someone helping me.

 

Do it yourself!!!! its pretty easy with right tools. just need basic tools.

only hard part is taking bolt off from thhe LCA. but pray some PB blaster and impact wrench if you have one. we can HELP you..save money

 

any one have a list of tools? do i need air tools?

 

still would be more comfortable with someone helping me thats done it before

Seriously. I was intimidated to do my shocks on my EJ1, but then I just took a day to do it and it turned out real nice.

if you never dont it before. and if you want. however, its all about taking out botls.nothing major.
you do not need airtool. just it makes job easier.

Jack, Jack Stand, 10-19mm socket, deep stock is better with 6-point(well you do need deep ones). few wrench, hammer, PB blast, long breaker bar. torque wrench. i think thats about it.. someone should add if i miss something.

Air tools are rarely required when it comes to any car. It just makes the job faster. Just set an entire day aside to doing it, don't have anything else planned so if you run into problems you won't have to rush to fix it.

 

anyone else have any advice or tips

 

yeah what car are you doing it on?for a dc you need a 17mm,14mm sockets.And you also need a 14mm wrench(might be 17mm)But you will need and air compressor because the strut will turn without the air compressor if you are doing a sleeve coilover set up.Lmk if you have anymore questions

Again, set an entire day aside. Make sure you have the appropiate tools and just dive in there.
