I am getting my springs on monday and one of my friends who installs headers, cat-backs, coilovers, and sprins is going to install mine. The thing is that I have been to a couple of shops to ask how much it would be to install and they are giving me prices like $150+. They gave me these prices because they said that the Mcpherson Front Strut on the newer civics is a bitch to take off, so It makes the job really hard.

To the people who have springs: 1.) Is the front strut very hard to remove?

2.) Is this too difficult for a person to remove, and would I be better off having it installed at a shop?

dude, i did it and had absolutely no clue what i was doing at the start. its actually really really easy, they are only a few bolts to take the strut out, and they aren't hard to get too. don't believe these shops, they always be rippin you off. get it done yourself
