I've never really dealt with suspension mods at all other than a strut bar, so i'm kinda iffy as to if i should install my S-Techs myself. You can just do it with a jack right? Theres a local shop that will do it for me, and if they do it for me, how long does it usually take? So i guess i'm saying being an absolutely beginner with suspension, should i do this myself?

 

My local charges $150+ tax. At some point in everyone's life, they had never done it either. I say go for it and spend the $150 on another upgrade.

Here is a DIY I did on doing the rears. Look that over and see if it makes sense to you. The fronts are only slightly more complicated by a couple more bolts, but do-able. Even as a complete beginner you should be able to do all 4 in< 3 hours. If you run into problems, just come post back or Pm me.

 

dont know of anoyne with one of those.... (thats a quote from the DIY)

So you think it'd take the shop about 3 hours?

 

be CAREFUL when removing the top hats off your OEM struts.

the springs need to be compressed with a spring compressor, while you unscrew to lock nut up top.

try to get a friend to help with this part and DON't get in front of the spring when your taking off the top hat.

 

do they salt the roads in your area?

 

yea alot

and whats a top hat?

 

you're going to need air tools and/or help from a friend

 

in this pic flip its the part circled in yellow, if they do salt alot you will have a problem getting the lower control arm bolts out, if you do it your self try and use airtools and get some p-b blaster

Do it. A shop would charge about $50CAD a spring.So $200, plus the alignment afterward.

I have never done it eather but when (if) I get my coil-overs,I plan on doing it myself. There is some really good detailed DIYs on the net if you do some searching on different honda sites.

 

thats like the part u can see in the engine bay, the top of the strut right?
