I just got a set of skunk 2 coilovers and I'm going nuts! I want them on right now! My friend that works at a Honda dealer as a mechanic cant get to it till not this Sat. but NEXT Sat., and a local shop in town cant get to it till wednesday and then it would be 210 bucks just to install!

I want to know how hard they are to install, and if I should just get it professionally done. I dont want to mess up my car but I am good with my hands. I am an excellent car stereo installer, and I even had my own car stereo shop at one point in my life, and I was the only installer. I can install an intake pretty easily, but I never messed with a car's suspension. Are there any special tools that i might need? I appreciate any help.

 

Be patient and get it perfessionaly done. Your suspension is one thing you DO NOT want to mess up. Just wait, the skunk2 are good I have them .Only thing is that I got my installed for 100.oo no tax local import shop helped me out. Installing a intake and installing a coilover kit is 2 different things. Do not get impatient and try and do it yourself. Good luck bro.

Same here,.I got em and you have to cut the perch on the strut and you need someone who knows what they are doing,...I payed $100 for mine as well,..but they do seem pretty damn good to me,..not so much Squating in the rear,..they will also Improve your 0-60 times becasue of it!
I don't think you could do them yourself,..but hey ya never know!
GOOD LUCK,.be patient

 

well...I got em on. I DONT recommend that any retards attempt to install them, but it was kinda hard. I decided to try it since i had the whole day off and nothing to do, and well 7 hours later I got them on. I didnt realize I had to cut until I had everything up, but I'm not the type of person to quit so i pulled out my dremel, pulled out my air compressor and got dirty. It was deffinitely not easy but it can be done by a normal person. I havent lowered it yet I have it set at factory height, I had alot of stuff to do after I got done so I'm putting lowering it off till tomorrow. oh yeah and I LOVE the ride.
