so now I can finally get my car back on the road. it's been a week since I started this project. i'm sure more things will go wrong.

i need to still drill out the broke bolt and get spring compressors to mount these puppies onto the KYB AGX's. while the car is on jacks, i think i'll also swap the shifter arms, and readjust the swaybar connectors.

wish me luck! i'll need it...

 

I didn't need a spring compressor when I did my H&R Sports on AGX...but I had air tools h:

Good luck

 

i dont remember using a spring compressor on my HR Sports. and if i remember correctly, arent the Race springs shorter than the Sport springs?

 

yep you're right Will

 

yup, i found out i don't need a spring compressor. but damn, i'm having the hardest time getting the assembly back into position.

oh and how tight should that bolt on the top be? i tightened it down and all it does now is just rotate the shock piston.

 

you need to put an allenwrench in the hole up top and then use an open ended wrench to turn the bolt. Tq settings according to helms is 32 ft lbs of tq for the top bolt

 

For an integra its 22 lb-ft, and the AGX don't have a hex nut on top. There are 2 flat sides on the shaft that you have to hold with pliers while you tighten the nut.

 

the race drops pretty low so a comprssor was not needed for mine.

 

Yes, I was going to say, didn't need a compressor for my Sports.

 

yes yes this will look good
