Default How-to on installing springs/shocks?

Hey guys. I finally got my Pro-Kit and KYB AGXs and I plan to install them tomorrow. I have a 94 EX coupe. I think I remember seeing a how-to on the procedure a while back but I can seem to find it w/ the search function. Anyone know the link or can help me out? My dad and I have access to a garage so we got the hook up on the tools. Thanks in advance.

-Chris

Thanks for the replies guys. Everything pretty much went well- having air tools and a lift spoiled me. It wasn't too hard. I can say that there is such a major difference w/ the KYB AGX and the ProKit. I liked the drop as well- not too harsh and don't need camber kit. All I need to do is get an alignment on Monday.

At least let it settle for a week before getting alignment...

i don't know about waiting a week on the alignment. Sometimes if the toe-in changes enough you can barely drive it. On my truck i had to tow it to the shop because the toe in was so bad it wasn't driveable...damned drop spindles...hehe

I was told the same thing after putting the rims and springs/shocks on. They said something about letting the springs/shocks settle, or something like that. I forget. Anyway, that was a year ago and I've had no problems with my car so it worked for me.

Haha air tools, do it manually baby, definitely in it for the long haul.

Took me like 6-8 hours for springs. It was awesome.
