Default Re: lowering the car (Ignitecivic)

on each side unbolt the two top bolts for the strut, on the bottom one bolt on the control arm, and one on the shock fork. if the brake lines are bolted to the strut, unbolt those too. then you should be able to remove the strut/springs assembly out of the car and compress it, or if you dont have a spring compressor, just pop them. i suggest the spring compressor if you've never done this before.

Unbolt the two screws on top. Tanl a long one on the bottom. Than Unbolt that little arm around the spring and hit it with a hammer so it drops (gently). After that take the shock and spring out. compress the spring witha spring compressor and then take out the nut on top and do the same thing to put it back. sorry if its not that clear im not so good explaing things I just did this today though. Next time use Search button so u don't get flammed.
