Default How difficult is this?

How hard is it to self-install shocks/coilovers in a 94 civic ex?

If you have to ask, pay someone to do it. Or pay someone to teach you.

Yeah, not to flame or anything, but this is the kind of question where if you have to ask, I wouldn't recommend doing it.

It really is quite simple though....check out http://www.c-speedracing.com in thier how-to section.

Basically you jack up the car, take off your wheels, and unbolt your shock assembly where it's attached to your car.

Make sure you have a good hydraulic jack, a GOOD jack stands, and a spring compressor so you don't hurt yourself.

not hard shouldnt take a competent do-it-yourselfer, no more than like 45 mins to do. It is mostly common sense, although common sense is not common to all!
