anyone here put on suspension
I live in Yorktown, drive a 92 civic hatchback. I got brand new spring's and shocks/struts for the front and back. So does anybody here work at a shop somewhere close by that can put these on at a decent price. Also they are springs not coilovers. thanks let me know

you dont really need a spring compressor, 2 sets of vice grips will work just as well....and you wont need a spring compressor to put back on if you have lowering springs more than like and inch and a half, all you need of your stock shit is the dust cover, the fitted washer, bump stops and the spring perch.....and its fun impacting the stuff off, you get to see how far and hard the stuff shoots under all that spring pressure, haha, just dont lose anything,......

be safe and use a damn spring compresser. go to autozone and ask at the desk, you get all your money back when you return the tools. and this aint really a hard mod you should just do it your self insted of wasting good cash

Thats how I did mine
Just point them away from everything, and loosen. Haha. And like MORE IMPATIENT said, if your springs are more than a slight drop, you wont need compressors to put them back on.
