accident prone

ok i need some help, ive been trying to find a step by step forum in here on how to do the spring instal on my 99 civic dx coupe. just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or even just give me some instructions and all that fun stuff. im going from eibach sportlines (installed now) to progressives.

first step - buy a spring compressor to save your shoulder from being broken (or arm) otherwise just take it somewhere and pay them the 80$ or w/e it is.

other than that i honestly think you could do it. just look at the struts and the bolts that connect to em and take em off. not much to it really, its just that you gotta have a spring compressor or you'll screw yourself up pretty bad.

Get a Haynes manual from Autozone, it will show you exactly what to do.

i was told (by iluvjdmitr) that the spring compressor isnt needed just undo the entire assembly pull it out and replaces the spring then put them back in, i have a spring compressor just for safety so im not in the hospital with a spring sticking ou t of my chest. im just a little confused with the bolts that need to be removed, i mean of course the top 2 on each strut need to be removed no big deal thats easy as hell, what about the bottom thats where im confused, their is that a arm in the front or whatever it is the one that gets changed out so i can screw with my camber thats in my way i guess im just confused on some of the stuff im gunna look through my haynes book but other suggestions would be great

I used that on my first ever spring installation. It is highly recommended that you use a spring compressor to remove the stock springs although there are ways you can get around it. If your new lowring springs are short enough you don't need the compressor to put them back on the strut.
