I can do it. I've installed coil-overs on a Del Sol (mine), a '92 Civic Hatch, a '00 ITR, and a couple other hondas. If you have all the tools (including a compressor) I will come up there. If not, U gotta come down here (Northern Virginia). Just let me know, if not, that's cool.

Have you concidered doing it yourself. It's not very hard I could proboly get you instructions if you want.

Well i gotta find a compressor but i assume i could locate one within the next week or so. My wheels come in soon and i wanna get these springs on asap. Also if im short on cash and i purchase just the springs will i be ok for 2-4 wks b4 i get the shocks. Is there anything else i need besides shocks and springs. ie) camber kits, etc. Its on a 2000 civic hatchback 17in wheels on eibach springs and kyb agx or koni yellow shocks/struts? Is that a decent setup? Are the koni yellows worth a little more money and a longer wait??

You don't really need a spring compressor to do it...I have done several installs without them.

Drop a towel over the end of the assembly and pop it loose the towel will stop any chance of losing the nut and washer. remember to place the other end of the assembly against a solid object (a tire works fine too) and go for it.

Don't waste time getting the camber kit, it will cost you a whole lot more money waiting on that,than the difference of the better struts. If you do, do it yourself just be careful, this job can be a dangerous one if not careful. Befor going ahead on this project, spray some wd-40 on all the strut bushings, because in older cars like ours they can freeze up, making it a biatch to get the strut off. Good luck. :irock:

Without the camber kit you will be going through tire twice as fast.
