Default which service manual?

searching for a better service manual I see lots of links to http://www.helminc.com

after putting my car info I have many to choose from, just making sure is this is the one I need?
1998-2002 Accord 2/4-DOOR L4 Service Manual $70.00

I already have "Haynes Repair Manual 1998-2002 Honda Accord" but don't really like it. I would prefer something more detailed if there is any.

thanks in advance.

Tom

I bought the Honda manual (Helms) for my 1994 Accord and never, never regretted the money. It is a superior manual to the Haynes, although the Haynes is a good budget manual for basic repairs/maintenance.

The Helms has info not available anywhere else, thousands of diagrams and pictures, and specs where they are easy to find. So far I have restored about 70% of the car, and never had a paroblem with the Helms manual.

If you are into in-depth work (suspension/brakes/engine, etc) buy the Helms, if you can afford it. If you need a manual for just basic repairs/maintenance, the Haynes will do fine.
