I am doing lowering srings on my 01 Prelude and was curious if anyone knows the easiest way of doing it, or any other way of doing it besides removing the ball joint. I have not started yet and was curious on the easiest ways of tackling this monster!!

thanks for your help!

 

there is no other way to take off the shocks without removing the ball joint.

 

you can do the base prelude without removing the balljoint, but the SH balljoints have to be removed. make sure you get an alignment afterwords or you will eat your tires in a matter of months!

Incorrect, just did it yesterday. Just drop the swaybar and LCA and you can fit it in there. I always found popping ball joints to be a pain, esp since if you accidently tear the boot you have to buy another one. I just need to remove an endlink and a 17mm bolt.
