Default Lowering Springs

Hey i'm looking to add some H&R lowering springs into my 98 integra and i was wondering if there are any special tools that I need in order to do this job myself
and instructions on how to do this.

Why do you want to do it?
Just to make it low? Or do you want an actual increase in the performance of your handling characteristics?

More for the looks but I mean... handling is a plus so yeah. I'm lowering it because my car is on stock LS height and it looks like a truck

you can get a spring compressor too at autozone or something and just give them a deposit fee. then give it back when your done.

well i just installed the springs on my ls... it was pretty straight forward no seized bolts or anything but my shocks are gone. i suggest those aswell.

Surprisingly enough the ride stayed extra smooth! not the least bit bumpy....

if ur gonna get H&R springs then thats a good choice. i had them on my civic along with KYB AGX shocks and that was the S***. perfect ride height and they were very very stiff.

Weird. i had H&R's on my old 95' ls with stock shocks and the ride was bumpier than a 14y.o's face.. Happy to hear the install and ride is up to quality tho! gj
