Default 92-95 lowering springs

I've never messed around with a honda's suspension before, but i am wanting to put lowering springs on. Is there any "Putting springs on for Dummies" guides around here? or can anyone explain the steps? preferably the easiest and quickest

Once you have the suspension apart it is pretty straight forward.

The best thing to reference is a Helm or Haynes manual.

I would say the easiest thing to mix up is the order the washers and boot stack back up on the shock shaft. So pay special attention to that. Especially the washer with the tapered hole.

Another thing you will need to pay special attention too is the alignment of the studs on the top hats and to make sure the springs are as low as you can get them on their lower perches.

After you install them make sure you get your car aligned.

You can pick up the haynes manual at your local auto store.

The helms manuals are expensive if bought ligitmately but dfinately worth it.
