Default 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.

Didn't have any trouble when I installed my suspension last year on my 94.

is this something that could easily be done with a set of jackstands?

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:
