Install lowering springs yourself
Im curious. Ive taken a look at my suspension, and i know i can install the springs myself. The question is, am I an idiot for thinking so? if not are there any special tools that I would need, besides the obvious (socket set and a couple wrenches, and maby and allen key or two. I saw a pic with a bracket on a spring, looked to be what i would call a spring compression unit or whatnot. either way, would i need one of those??

You're going to want a spring compressor.
Or you can have Marnie explain how to do it the fun way.

I just installed lowering springs on my civic this weekend. Its pretty easy to do, even for a 16 year old who has just started figuring out a civic. Beware of the bolt holding the strut on the control arm. It likes to break if your not careful. Play it safe and take the whole piece out.
