Default Advice on installing coilovers...

Hi,

I'm planning on installing some coilovers on my '91 CRX HF in a little while and any help or advice you could give me would be great!

My car spent it's early years in Massachussets, so I have a feeling the bolts are going to be a major pain to get off.

Should I spray WD-40 or PB Blaster onto the bolts for a while before I try?

And what's the best way to get them off?

Thanks!

Scott

I don't have either of those.

I do know why (I think) you would need them. However I don't know many people that have (or even have access to) corner scales.

New struts are on my "list" however I don't have the money for them yet.

not everyone has a grand or so to drop for corner scales especially if you do not road race or autocross seriously.
