Default Neuspeed Sports install

Anyone done it themselves on a 5th gen Accord? I will be getting my springs on Thursday and I would like to do it but if it's a hassle then I'd happily pay Sacramento Motoring Accessories to install them for me. Is that an $80 that I should keep in my wallet and just do the install myself or would I be better off having the pro's do it?

i was about to get the neuspeeds, but now i'm gonna get the H&R's instead because they are made in germany, and they don't sag as much, and they have a new technique in making those springs. but yea, that's just me.

neuspeed springs are made in germany as well. mine don't sag hardly any.

as far as installation goes.... it's easy. keep that $80. all you need are a couple wrenches, a spring compresser, some wd40, and a few hours of time. i put my neuspeed race springs on with the aid of a buddy and it only took us like 4.5 hours tops.

are you getting shocks as well or will you be dropped on stock shocks?

JJJ784- Yeah man, if you had done your homework, you would have seen that Neuspeed's are also made in Germany, it actually says that right on the springs.

Blackmagik- I am gonna be dropped on stock shocks for now, I plan on getting some AGX after Christmas. I might just do the install myself at a buddies house, he likes doing shyt like this.

i'd suggest waiting until you get shocks and do it all at once because it's the same procedure to change the shocks as it is the springs. i don't see the point in doing it twice. work smarter not harder.

well... i didn't say neuspeeds weren't made in germany, but i know that the HRs are. For a long time, I was unsure which one i wanted, but the thing that made me choose HR is because I read some reviews how neuspeeds sag a little over years. but i'm still debating between the two. why did you choose neuspeeds over HR? they're like the same thing with same price. only difference is that HR doesn't make neuspeed springs anymore.

That would be the best way to do it but im not gonna have the $$$ for shocks until after Christmas and I can't wait that long. I don't care about having to do it all again in a few months, im not afraid of work.
