Default OT: socal ppl: can anyone help "un-drop" the car?? attn: norcal ppl too

basically, i want to get my car back to stock ride height, because i know my drop is ruining my alignment, and plus i'm taking the baby up on a road trip. the only thing about getting someone to do it is that it's gonna cost around 2 bills. and i'd do it w/ my friends, only that we don't have the equipment. so if anyone knows how or anything, i'll pay for the help, i'll just need estimates to see if anyone wants to help.

and also, i'm going up to norcal next week to visit my friend in uc berkeley. anyone live around the area where i can leave my car in peace for the weekend?? just outside a house or inside a garage. anything. i don't want to leave it out on the street. well thanks again, i love h-t~!!!

I can help you do it if you would like, just bring the car to my friends work and we can swap it out, got all the tools/air tools, with him working the rear, and me the front, we should be done in less than an hour.

You need a spring compressor to put stock springs back in.

Not on an ITR. A spring compressor is not neccessary. (other stock Integ's and Civic's need springs compressors though.)

Yeah, don't park it outside in Berkeley. Parking in the streets of Berleley in general is very difficult (very crowded) and it's very dirty/scummy there also. Best bet is hope your friend has a closed garage if not buy some big thick chains and chain your two back wheels together.
