To install them you'll need simple hand tools, and a spring compresser.
Faster if you have impact tools.
Progress isnt the best, but for the money (and shipped) id say you cant go wrong.
Everyone will have their opinions though.

FYI the bronze Civic on the page is fellow Honda Challenge racer Justin Wessling's car.
He had no complaints with their products either.

Extra shocks? its a complete setup.
Shocks, springs, bumpstops and misc hardware.
The only thing you'll need is your stock tophats.

use a proper spring compressor, DO NOT USE VICE GRIPS!! Improper tools could cause serious injury. That top hat will shoot off and destroy your face or anything it comes in contact with. If you are not confident enough, I recommend bringing it to a shop
