have you looked at you suspension? its a really basic set up i took me about 3 hours to drop my car the first time ive ever done suspension on a civic. the thing you will need is 14, 12, 17mm sockets 14mm deep 17mm wrench basic tools you should allready have and a spring compressor if you dont have an impact gun.

same basic set up as yours instead of putting the coilover sleves on put your springs in. there is pretty much nothing you can **** up on the only thing i can think of is cross threading a bolt or loosing one but dont even worry about that its really easy. since you dont have an impact gun your gona need a spring compressor you can rent one at kragen. and compressing the stock spring will be the hardest part. you wont need to compress your new spring as it is shorter.
