For installation, ask your friends if they have friends. I asked a guy at school if he could hook me up, and he called a couple of his friends and was like, "Hey, would you do a spring install for this girl that I know?" and they said they'd do it for just a little pocket cash. Haven't gotten the springs yet, but it's who you know.... BTW, I'm going with Neuspeed Sports on stock shocks for now.

I'm not mechanically inclined.. I just dont do things quite this big on my car... I would rather have a warranty personally. Plus the fact that spring compression can kill you.

I know you say you dont want to do it yourself but it does save some money and you said you were on a tight budget. I have never done anything like this before and installed mine a few weeks ago. The springs can kill you from what i have heard but i had no problems at all, just compress them with a compressor that you can get from an auto parts store for just a deposit that you get back. Just a thought and heres a how to i did, its on a CL but the accord is almost the same Good luck

That's good to hear. I've only heard a few problem stories with this setup, but mostly they've been fine.

i was like you at first. i thought to myself that installing springs myself was a way too big project for me and that i'd let a shop do it. but after asking around, the cheapest i could find for an install was around 250-300 bucks.

so i was like **** it, i got a spring compressor, spent a whole day and did it myself.

it was a good experience, i learned a lot about my car. and plus now my friends are going to me to do their suspension and i'm making some money off of it

Swapping out the suspension is easy. Get a friend, should take you a few hours. It's not hard at all. Its just unbolt, compress spring, remove top mount, compress new spring, put on top mount, and put back into car. Once you do one corner, you'll get the hang of it and be able to bang the others out. And as for leaving out a bolt or something, theres only 4 or 3 nuts, depending on front or rear, you shouldn't forget anything, its a cake job.
