Just wondering if anyone has attemped to install these themselves. I have installed Neuspeed Race Springs and Tokico shocks before. Now I want to change out the Neuspeeds for Ground Controls that I just recieved today. I have fiddled with them. I now it will be a bit of a pain. Any one got any recommondations or Ideas. Oh yeah the place is gonna charge $200 to install them. Just want to see what you guys think
Later!

 

(well not gc's but coilovers)

shouldn't be that hard. $200 for a spring install better include a load of other stuff o_O

 

Acutually that price is just for installation. They said around $200. These A Holes might charge more. The GC coil overs do require cuting of bump stops and other stuff sounds like a pain

 

cutting of bump stops? I'm about to buy some GC for my GSR, but what do you mean by bump stops? I'm not performing the installation, but i'd like to know if they're gonna cut anything on my car!

 

Yeah on the end of your shocks there are rubber stubs called bump stops. My instructions stated that they are to be cut in half and the dust boot also needs to be cut in half. Just look at the instructuions when you get them you'll see

 

oh dang, is that gonna affect my ride? will it void my warranty? Sorry i've never lowered my car before i'm kinda afraid of the side effects.

 

I don't see why it would but I do recommend getting New shocks. Do it all at once. They stock shocks ten to go pretty fast when your car is lowered.

 

Oh yeah a if you plan on doing a lot of mods to your car just go ahead and say " Bye Bye" to the warrenty. Hondas are well built cars unlike some american POS coughing "FORD" So have a little faith and enjoy hooking your car up..
Just my personal opinion
PEACE

 

200 is a major rip off, don't pay that much. It should be about 60 or so. The coilovers shouldn't be that much harder than regular springs to install. The cutting of your bumpstop is nothing, you just do it with a knife! And the cutting of the dust covers can be done with a dremel really easily. Or hacksaw.

 

You have to cut the bumpstops, which is the rubber piece on the struts accordingly to the instructions provided or else you'll regret the day you put on the new springs/coilovers. The ride will be harsh as hell. It's not require that you cut the bumpstops, it can still drive but the ride will just be harsher.

And seeing that you have a 2001, you might want to think twice about mods cuz it might void the warranty..........

hey wussup!

i dont know much about engines and all but i installed my GC coilovers myself w/a little help of a friend. Thats a rip off to pay someone to do it cause u can just do it yourself and save the $$$$$$$$ u need 2 people...do u think your going to do it yourself...well email me poweredbyintegra@hotmail.com and ill give u directions and tips cause i just installed them about a month ago and theyre perfect
ohh and if your going to slam your car, u better get shocks, u can use the $200 if u install them yourself.
