DIY..get some local civic oqners and ask them to help u out..

Its not a bad price man ..It takes at least 2 hours to do the job

if that includes alignment (which you should do after lowering)
than thats not a bad deal.

yeah not a tough job but your gonna need a spring compressor or it gets really tough

Its 200 for lowering w/ no Alignment after....I thikn its a rip off....Im just gonna keep lookin for the best deal....im not in a rush to get them in w/ winter here and all

man if i were to pay someone to do the install i have buddies that would do it for like 100 and some beer...but now a days all honda suspension is mostly the same and its not like its impossible to do on your own...if your a past honda owner and did your own work its a piece of cake

Yea i dunno i think the 200 is bull i mean...its just for springs...its not springs and shocks...im tryin to find some1 in the arae around me to do it for 100...thanks

well regardless of having to do just springs or springs and shocks its the same amount of work...cause you still have to compress the springs

im gonna get some koni's within the next 6 months hopefully...since im at school and i play sports i do alot of traveling and my car doesnt move for like 3 weeks at a time...so i wont be doing alot of driving so i think my shocks will last til i have the money to get the koni's.

DrivetoFast helped me install my springs. He just used a pneumatic jack and the crappy honda one (from the trunk) to compress the springs. Didn't take long either.

Woah, sounds dangerous. I'm gonna buy one at Autozone for $29

I usually do it myself, but since I had a problem with the steering arm, I took it to get dropped. Cost me $50 cash. Took 1 hour and 5 minutes. No alignment tho. Looks like you need one of these places in NJ

Definitely go somewhere else. Don't pay more than $120. Or rent the tool and do it yourself. Its a good learning experience. Just be careful and take your time.

thats just dumb...he could have hurt himself...you can rent them from autozone and get your money back when you return it...

3 of us installed mine (not members of this forum) we had basic tools in my garage and we compressed my springs by hand.. easy if u have 3 ppl..

compressions isnt that much.. i have changed springs on at least 17+ 7th gen civics and when i take the springs off it doesnt even shoot or anything... maybe pop off the cap or something but thats it...as for putting it back together you should be able to put the fronts on without any compression tool or anything.. but for the backs just have one person push the spring down and another put on the screw... should be real easy and shouldnt require much force to push it down.. but if you were lowering other cars like a mitsu then i would highly recommend a spring compression cause those things are tightly wound and shot like a **** without it

whoa. my response is a little late ...anyways, it wasn't dangerous at all. I was watching and it was so simple and easy. I guess it's a technique nobody else knows or has figured out. Nothing went wrong and it was easily done with 1 person.
