just make sure those coilover could fit stock shocks or you'll have to buy certain shocks for certain coilovers.
Replacing coilover should be the same way as any other honda's

use alot of WD-40!!! and yes it is a two person job..doing this alone really take a long time. hope to spend about a whole day working on it. and for civics and integra's ...its no different...just different bolts here and there...buts its no easier or no harder. good luck!

My accord took 8 people and 20 mins to drop big families come in handy!

these "coilovers" you are referring to arent coilovers. they are called adjustable springs or sleeveovers. GC is very popular and best bang for your buck. dont go for skunk2's because IMO they sucked. haha but if u want a true full coilover set go with TEIN SS or BASIC. basi runs around 800 bux. or go for OMNIPOWER coilovers, they jsut came out with the 1990-1997 application recently. nothing but good news coming from omnizzle
