Default Need someone to help with shocks\springs install

Hi all, I have a '95 accord EX. I just ordered a set of goldlines (1.25 drop) and kyb gr-2's that will arrive by this weekend. Only problem is installation now lol I spent the money I was gonna use to install the springs on the shocks so I've committed myself to a DYI If any of you guys who installed springs\shocks yourself (in socal\orange county area) are interested I'll give you a force feedback racing wheel\pedals\shifter package that I paid over $200 for to come and help me out (I'm not totally clueless I did some work on my camaro I used to have and I'm mechanicly inclined). I have a garage to work in\floor jack\jack stands and some tools but most of my tools are crap so if you can bring some good ones that would help, also a spring compressor if you have one. If not I'll get one. I live in huntington beach 3 blocks from the beach and will provide free cokes :D Here's the wheel I'm talkin about, it kicks *** and works perfectly. http://www.sgn.cc/hardware/actlabs_force_rs/index.shtml

I'm just thowin this out there cuz it's the best thing I have to barter with but I have a couple other cool pc gadgets\lots 'o software that I could give ya instead\combo deal. I don't have any friends who know jack about cars and I could really use the help cuz I don't wanna f this up. I don't have a repair manual for the car but can pick up a cheapie haynes if you think it will be needed\will help. I'm not a psycho or anything and I would really appreciate it. If you wanted to work on your ride afterwards I'd help you out too.

Only thing I ask is that you know what the hell you're doing, don't want a blind leading the blind situation I can't imagine it's gonna be that difficult with a repair manual and a "how-to" I found online I think we could do it pretty easily. Anyway if interested reply or email me at mrpinkdonttip@hotmail.com

ya kinda thought that might be an issue. I just got the car like 2 weeks ago so new to the "scene". All I can say is I'm a decent dood, don't drink or do drugs etc. This stuff is gonna be here in a few days so if there's any meets between now and then I'm game

Damn guess you were right :D So is this like impossible to do on my own? I think I read somewhere that a certain part of the process needs 2 people.
