Please don't put cheap ebay coil overs on your car. You will wish you never did when you feel how bouncy they are. Save up and buys some good ones.

lol. Well I would suggest either searching over on honda-tech for a write up or getting a manual and reading it. Its really not hard to install them but you will need someone to remove your old springs if you don't have a spring compressor.

yea honda-tech has the instructions and they arent bad when paired with a shock that can handle that of travel. I heard they feel like the car is riding on rails because theyre too stiff to have body roll.

I'm assuming you have a Honda.... it's not hard.... just somewhat time consuming.

Just wondering...... why not ask someone from TTE to help you..... That is one benefit of being in a car club.....

oh I see.... if you are ever in VB, hit me up and I will give you a quick rundown on what you have to do.... the biggest issue that you may come accross are the bolts on the bottom of the rear struts.... those things just seem to snap off on every other suspension work I have done, regardless of how carefull I have been....
