good article to read

 

Search the FAQ's.

 

you dont need a spring compresser however its dangerous with out. im mean very dangerous,.
i have done it once without, put the stut on the gound and step on the end of the shock not spring, (it will really help if you have a impact, or air tools,) bust the bolt off the top, and the spring should just pop out,

did this on my buddies da, the backs hardly poped out at all, but the fronts came out with a little more force... but everything went good....
inless your ok doing that, go rent a compresser from shucks or something!

 

alrdy did

easy **** loook at the strut and figure it out. and its not dangerous at all. put the strut against the wall the bottom end and stand on the spring as you are looseing the bolt and pop the nut will go about a foot the end

 

well if you want to do it the safe way without the compressor. i do this all the time with the stock strut and spring. just bolt up the strut back on to the car and undo the nut and the spring will slap the strut tower. it will scare you cuz it sounds like a gun shot every time. u gotta be careful of not loosing the nut. i use a plastic bag for the nut. because it will scare you and u may move your hands quickly out of the way and doing that the nut could be lost. its easy and its better then doing it the other way of risking breaking your hand or something

 

Its dangerous man. maybe when u did it the struts were shot to the point where the spring wasnt holding the pressure. on a new strut holdn all that lbs of the spring it will shoot really quickly. either breaking your hand, fingers or wrist if their in the way.

 

google is your friend.

literally type in "how to change springs on integra"
and its right there...

 

richie-rich88- your way would work do, but i dont think im going to break my hand when my hands and feet arent on the spring lol

op do it the right the way, rent a compresser put it compress take off put new on and your done.
by the way with or without a compresser this is a dangerous job if you dont know what your doing so keep the kiddies away.

 

yeah definately go rent spring compressers. a buddy of mine thought he didnt need them. ended up a broken hand. its not worth it

 

kragen and autozone rent them out

 

how low would you go on an 01 gsr?

 

how low you go depends on the shocks you have, the streets you drive on and the spring rate you want to run. as a general rule it's much easier to live with a car that has at least 1 finger of gap between the wheel and fender. a tight 2 fingers is better. this assumes some type of sub 300lb/in lowering spring and a garden variety shock like tokico hp, koni str.t, kyb, stocks, etc.

 

ohh hah gotcha

 

dont worry....its fairly easy...best wishes!

 

T4TH!!!<<<---- thanks for the help

Thats just a funny video me and my friend andrew. We compressed his springs with his donuts. Scary to do, but we managed to do it even though it took a little time.

 

teebag dat bitch!!!!

 

those kids are retarded hahaha ... just put the whole setup in the car and use a jack to compress it, screw in the nut (i use an impact gun) and voila haha

 

hey, does the guy in the red shorts know that one of his socks fell up? and to the guy in the blue shorts, pull your shorts up dude! lol.

 

we might be retarded but did we not get the job done? lol

 

yeh well you have a point haha ... try it the other way next time though yo, sooooo easy

 

ill keep that in mind. thanks for the pointers haha
