Default How do i install coil overs?

I have a question about how to install front coil overs. Don't bash on me since i'm fairly new to the Honda/Acura scene. Well i got some coil overs for the fron't and i was wondering how would i install them and what else is needed to make them work and to get installed without a problem? Could i do it by myself or would i have to take it to a mechanic shop? Well let me know thanks everyone!!

you can do it by yourself. remove the front wheels the struts and the slide the coil overs on the struts reinstall strut adjust coilovers to equal height on both sides. and put the wheel back on.

I would however recommend after market struts the stock ones won't last long with coilovers especially if you're lowering the car.

... also i would recommend using then on the back too..

If you are using the stock shocks make sure to use a spring compressor to avoid any accidents.

coilovers? full or sleeve? either way you can go to Team-integra.com they have an article that goes step by step on how to change out your suspension. it's what i used.

Go to hondahookup.com , register and download the manual. it's really easy, I took my two front struts of in 30minutes, the same with the rear, I would really, really, really, advise for you to get some TOKICO HPs or KYB GR2s, if you don't it's going to have a really crappy feel and ride to it.


Find a shop that could compress the old springs out, that's what you'll need to do. DOn't try doing it your self it's dangerous. Just take them out and hand them over to a proffessional, then you could install them yourself.
