Not very hard at all. The entire suspension swap should take me around 1.5 hours, then a quick front end alignment (about 15 minutes). Remove the system (about 20 minutes). Get a stock hood painted and install the dampers (15 minutes). Remove the intake and install the factory unit (30 minutes). Remove misc. parts such as tow hook, strut bars, etc. Most of the parts on my car are factory (or factory upgrades) such as the floormats, fog lights, shift boot, arm rests, si taillights, and painted exterior pieces.

How do you do a quick front end alignment?

I have an in ground front end machine, it only takes about 15 minutes to do a front end job considering ride height, camber, and caster aren't adjustable on 6th gen civics. The only thing you do is dial in the front, adjust, then recheck, then perhaps a little more fine adjustment, then a quick test run to settle the suspension and if you want to be extra cautious, another quick dial in after the test run.

tired of bass.... hell i know ill never be.LOL when i dont have it i miss it to much... sure ya just dont want to downgrade alittle bit. thats the most id ever do...

but good luck with what ever ya do. i know my civics gotten older/slower ever since i got my truck, but im going to keep the civic anyways so i can save $ when it comes to daily driving so i can save about 20-30bucks a week in gas alone.
guess thats the best thing about having 2 vehicles.

Well, the reason the bass is going for now is b/c the amp took a dump on me. Anyway, I'm just tired of putting money and time into something that's going to always be slow to mildly slow.

Anyway, the system is out, for the exception of a few wires..
