Rent it to your friends!?!?  Now that's cruel!

I had a friend that would always offer to prorate a couch to you if you got hammered and fell asleep on it.

Get cracking with those S techs, already!!!!!!

now just get off your @ss and pull a all nighter ;)


also they do look beter than the ones i got from autozone... they had some THICK hooks that where hard to get around the coils...

GOOD LUCK... but remember to buy new LCA bolts ;)
and i believe it was 3washers on the upper arm to correct camber.. at least it was on mine..
also another tip.... take that upper mount off of the car where ya put in those washers THEN ya just have to take out the strut bolt... i found that out cause my one LCA bolt was seized.. just have to use your foot to push down the spindle enough to pull the strut assembly out... looked ALOT EASIER than messing with those seized LCA bolts.LOL

(lenght, diamter of the nuts and bolts i mean)

well i bought mine from dealership... then have a coned tip so they are easier to start the threads than a regular bolt... more money yes... but best way to go in my book.
luckely my strut bolt came right out... BUT the threads didnt look to great so i just replaced them... didnt want to damage my new strut nuts! beter safe than sorry ;)

but just try taking off the upper arm 2 bolts and just that one lower strut LCA bolt... hopefully ya wont have to mess with the other 2 LCA bolts! cause my one bolt was seized and thats all it takes to piss ya off while doing the swap. LMFAO

what other two LCA bolts would there be? Just the two at the tophat, then the one connect the strut to the LCA right?

BUY THEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP, if you don't need them you can return them or re-sell them to someone on here. Those bolts basically hold your wheel to the car, you don't want to cheap out on them. The Honda bolts are going to be able to handle the stress that they will be under... Home Depot stuff shouldn't be used for anything other than an emergency temporary fix.
