Default ordered my stuff

i finally got around to ordering my koni yellow shocks/struts and ground control coilovers. i ordered from www.redshiftmotorsports.comand they have excellent customer service too. i will also be installing a skunk2 camber kit along with it. what are your thoughts on this? can me and my dad do it at home or what? well if anybody has a diy or anything let me know and is there anything i should look out for? i did look at marnie's install though. i just dont know about a camber kit. i know i will have to have an alignment after its all on too. one more thing, when i do put them on how can i adjust the height? im probably looking to lower it about 2 - 2/12" dang i cant wait!!!

sweet

your install will be SLIGHTLY different from this, but here's the basic idea: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1106020


Just set the perches about halfway up the collars. When you're done take the car to a level place, jack up the car, and get a friend to help you adjust. Do both fronts at the same time, and both rears at the same time. IIRC it's 1/16" per turn. It will take a while to get it just where you want it, and the springs may settle after a couple days.
