How do I install new springs on my rsx
Ok, so I just recieved my tein s springs and want to get them on my car. I am pretty good when it comes to working on cars, well at least when I had my integra. Any ways is the spring install pretty much strait forward or is there anything I need to look out for. Some one told me something about drilling into the bottom of the strut but I have never had to this on any of my other cars. Thanks in advance.
No drilling. That sounds like a Koni install.
Take the struts out of the car (3 bolts up top, 2 on the knuckle and the tie rod), remove the upper hat, swap the spring, reassemble. Make sure you tie the brake assembly up with something so the axle doesn't fall out of the transmission when you unbolt the strut. The rears are straight forward also.

My axle popped out
just a couple turns and it was back in so keep it up with like a jack or something, for the back you need to adjust a lot so u can get the bolt through. I used a giant crow bar to pry up the arm to make the hole line up.
