wassup h-t heads.. jus 2 let u guys know im new at this honda stuff...never really gotten around to taking things apart and putting them together....

i got an 97 ek hatchie..so recently i got my dropzone suspension from ebay.. $300 for shocks and springs.. not bad i bought some blox lower control arms for the rear. Now i got a problem..Where do i start..front to back or back to front..with the new lower control arms.. can i keep the factory ones in or are they mandatory that i have to change them.. as far as camber kits.. its that something i have to take shocks and springs off or i can jus slap them on with out taking it out.?? need help..

 

You can start with whichever end you like, although for me, the rears have historically been the bigger PITA due to bolts being seized up and snapping off in the lower control arms. It's not as much a problem in the front because you don't need to remove the LCA's up front to switch out suspension. New lower control arms obviously replace old lower control arms, not sure what you're asking here...

You don't have to swap out the shocks or springs to install a camber kit. At the most, all you are doing is replacing the stock upper control arm with an adjustable version.

I suggest you spend some time poking around the suspension components of your car and figuring out what exactly you bought before you begin pulling things apart. It's not rocket science, but it's not exactly the kind of thing you want to "wing it" on.

 

You should start on the rear first, just in case you run into any seized bolts.

 

I'd say, before you even start, spray the bolts in the rear down with moovit, or releasall, every day for a week or two. then go at it.. Although, if theyre really seized, your still going to have to replace the bushing or entire control arm.

 

where they sell this releaseall or moovit... i gotta get crackin real soon..
