Default big job ahead of me

ok so i have a full es bushing kit, cusco comp-s coil overs, manual steering rack to install, rear disc brake conversion, and two front lower ball joints, bleeding the brakes, and installing new rear pads.

im wanting to see from you guys how long yall think it will take do all of this?

i will have a press available but its about 2 miles from where i will be actually working on the car.(using bros car for transportation there and back).


any kind of guestimation would be appreciated.

Bleeding the breaks and changing the pads will be the easiest. with a full set of coil overs are you still goint to use factory struts? I just did upper control arms lower balljoints cv axles and shocks. that took me about 10 hours and I didn't have a ball joint press all I had was my good ol' BFH and a c-clamp.

Id give my self atleast 2-3 days in anticipation of any problems (i.e. parts breaking and having to special order from Honda)

Good Luck!

Everybody works differently. If you've done suspension work before then you should be able to do this in a weekend no problem. However you never know what will happen, you could run into a few snags along the way.

Its not hard work. You shouldn't have too much trouble. Plus theres plenty of info on H-T to help you along the way.
