Installation of new springs.
I will be installing some type r springs on my gsr shortly.
I know how to install them, so im not asking that
Question is tho, what parts (part numbers please) are likly to break, or give me trouble, and i will have to break and replace? I heard the castle nuts give trouble some times. Anything else I should pick up from acura tomorrow just in case? (if they carry them in stock)
I know I will need a spring compresser.. Anything else besides the basic tools?
Also alignment im sure...

The bolts should be the only things giving you problems. No castle nuts or balljoints involved in a spring install.
Compressor for the front springs only. The rear's you can push down far enough with your arm strength to get the hat over and past the threads.

absolutely, I did mine on 4 jackstands (or 2 if you only want to work on one end at a time), and doing most of the work myself.
Nothing should break. It went really smooth for me. Definitely takes 2 people though. Here's the procedures I used:
