yup got them installed today! i say it's great. handling omg, can't complain lol. well i rip through corners but i heard some scraping. dumb me, it was the splash guards on the front. i removed that but not the back one. the back ones are high enough so it won't scrape. anywho, there's a clanking sound on the right back corner of my lude. the shop told me they broke a bolt holding the shock. so they're gonna call honda tomorrow and order the bolt.

 

If they broke the shock mounting bolt on the bottom - DO NOT drive the car very far. Absolutely do not drive it hard. This would also be the case with a few other pieces. When you go back make sure that every bolt and nut is torqued to Honda spec. There are 2 on the top that get set to 28 foot pounds and no other amount. You can actually do the top stud nuts yourself up front and in the trunk. After they fix the car-get it aligned again, because you may well need Camber kits.
Happy Luding

what kind of shop is it ? a reputable one that broke the bolts?

 

ya i'll get it re-aligned after they fix my lude.

 

They let you drive the car off with a bolt unfastened? That doesnt sound very honest or responsible of them. Even if this was one of the shock mount bolts (which it probably was if you are driving around), what if something broke? Have you ever seen a vehicle's suspension collapse? I have, its not pretty, even if you dont crash. Not to be an ***, but thats why I do all of my own work.
