Default Accord Spring install Help!

We're installing some skunk2 springs on my friends 94 accord. Got the springs on the shocks fine, and installed the fronts fine, but when we got to the rear, we ran into a problem. We can't get that one Pin into the hole behind the brakes.

That one pin that goes through the 2 holes on the bottom of the shocks. Can anyone give any advice on how to line up the bottom of the shocks so that the Pin goes through so we can finish this tonight?

sorry if i'm unclear on my question, but any help is welcome!

Yo will probably have to compress it again and line everything up. I ran into the same problem with my Gf's 96 V6. I also used Skunk2 springs and they rode like crap. Had to put the OEM springs back on after about 2 weeks. Couldn't take all the bouncing. OMNI POWER!!

compress the spring and make sure everything seat right, most of the time the upper spring seat won't budget and all you can do twisting it is moving the bottum seat, which will affect the ride height.


this is way you should make a white line for alignment purposes before removing the old spring
