Default Slip over Omni Power Coil Over Install from Hell........

I Just bought Omni-Power coil overs this morning...for $180 dollars...Me and my dad started working on it...which was a bad idea..but we have power tools and he can pretty much do it if i can tell him...I have a 2000 gsr by the way...The back of my car was really rusted...The previous owner used to live where it snowed a lot..So we started with the rear of the car...my dad was taking off the bolt that holds the rear strut to the lower rear control arm...bolt breaks...we open the whole control arm, and knowing my dad..he told me im stupid and not to buy an integra again..cuz hes against the whole import scene..thats besides the point...so he starts to drill it out...and the bolt is seized up in the shock and the control arm...we give up because we only drilled like 1mm into it...My dad said lets just to the left side of the rear now...SNAP...same bolt breaks on that side....I felt hopeless...and I drive my car to work everyday...so I was on a time crisis..So i called up HAP Recycling in Sacramento and i bought 2 lower control arms for 45 dollars each and they felt sorry for me..and gave me 2 gsr rear struts for 35 dollars each...so i spent 170 dollars on stuff that we broke..which isnt too too bad...i thought it was gonna be worser...Luckily we finished the rear of the car and it lowered perfectly...the front was really easy..threw on the omni power camber kit for 145 in the front...lowered the car..It came out looking so clean..and for Omni Power Slip over coil overs..they get a I love them..I will post pics of the broken bolts and the gsrrr later

Common problem on tegs. I don't know why you would have had to replace the LCA's. When I did mine, I replaced the bushing and bolts. Had the cut the old struts off.

Glad it all worked out. Have fun!
