I snapped my rear LCA bolt last night trying to install some H&R's. I suggest you have a shop "break" the bolts, so that when you go take them off it won't be hard to do. Trust me, you don't won't to snap that bolt. I still am not sure what I'm going to do about it.

 

If you've already broken the bolt, the only reasonable thing I've been able to do is torch out the whole bushing (use a torch to melt the rubber) then cut the bolt and replace the bolt and bushing. Not pleasant, but it does work.

Good luck!

just talked to acura and they're going to break my rear bolts for me, providing everything goes good they said it'd be like $40, which sounds like it's worth it from what you guys are saying,,,

thanks for the info!

 

How much do shops usually charge anyways to install suspension stuff?? Including camber and everything?

 

most shops around here won't touch it, found 2 shops that would and they were talking like $500 to install springs, shocks, camber kits and adjust the camber, pretty much the whole nine yards,,, i thought that was alittle steep, but 2 shops quoted me the same,,,,, i've got a hydro-spring comp. so if i can get the bolts off it shouldn't be to hard of an install, i think anyways.

 

jesus, $500!? i would just read up on it and do it myself.

 

i'm doing it myself fo sho!! got plenty of other mods i'd like to spend my money on other than labor

 

so i'm assuming that i shouldn't have a problem with my wheelz rubbing with this drop?

What size tires? Do you still have the fender linings inside your car? You can always roll the fenders in the back to avoid rubbing there . Go to a shop and have them break the rear LCA bolt, but you can do it yourself...a Breaker bar, a pipe to extend the breaker bar handle-length and muscles are what you need to break that sucker. Anyways, please post a pic when you're done, I would like to see how much it dropped your car. Just curious you know...
