Nice!!! I just ordered neuspeed sport springs last week and I plan on ordering tokico hp blues and SPC camber kit soon hopefully wensday....

it'll be cheaper to get the tools and install urself...most shops on average will charge $150-$250 depending on the shop...i just went to autozone got some jackstands, tie rod seaparator, and a socket set for less than $60 and autozone rents torque wrenches and spring compressors for free...they just loan it than give u all the money back when u return it in 5 days or less...and u can always renew...the tie rod separator was 10 bucks and after im done im returning it and even the jackstands u can return...all you really need is a basic heavy duty ratchet set and things u can return after u used them...if you need any help just check the DIY or pm me or robbclark

follow the spring install DIY thats located somewhere on this forum. the shock/strut should be a no brainer for the person who knows basic suspension components and install. its just monkey work with basic socket wrenches and maybe an alen key.

as for the camber kit, i forgot. but you'll see the stock camber on the rear and basically go from their by unbolting the OEM one and reinstall the SPC in reverse order from the way you removed the OEM camber kit.

nice running the same setup i have. have fun with them. and hope you don't have a fibergalss kit.

ragingSPAM

for the crash bolts on the front (where the strut connects to the brake) those holes need to be enlargened from 14mm to 16mm with a drill...its easy just get a 16mm drill bit and do it yourself...other than that everything should fit plus for the spc camber kit did u get the front bolts in 14 or 16mm cuz they should be 16mm ( i have am 04 em2 so i've done some research)

skratch_munkey

iTrader: (1)

ok just checked the camber kit and yes they are 16mm. after drilling you can't go back to stock shocks right?

no I don't have a fiberglass kit. what would happen if I did?

LoL... monkey work..


Thank you all for helping keep em coming

Al Gore FTW

iTrader: (19)

yes, you can go back to stock shocks. what you are doing by drilling is making the tokicos have the same size holes as the stock shocks.

dxray

yer gonna love the tokicos. I have them with the eibach pro-kit.

skratch_munkey

iTrader: (1)

oh so its the tokicos that I'm drilling I thought the stocks were 14mm and the tokicos were 16mm. stupid me.

02silverbullet

i can't wait to get my tokicos...ordered 'em last week...lets here how they are for ya once you get them done

mrDFWmechanic

iTrader: (2)

will everybody have to enlarge those bolt holes to 16mm or is it just for the newer civics, i have an 02

blouisgod

iTrader: (14)

be a real man and use the spring install DIY
its not that hard really, you just need a breaker bar and a few sockets, maybe a spring compressor.

zambaleno

iTrader: (1)

do the blues come with 16 mm holes at all???

hdave

iTrader: (6)

nope you gotta drill

ragingSPAM

iTrader: (8)

everyone with 03-05 civics have to drill the holes on the struts larger to 16mm 01-02 is good to go...blues do come in 16mm for the 02 - 05 si/siR but the steering arm is slightly different and its easier to drill out the crashbolts than the steering arm...im putting my d specs on today!!! w00t im gonna take a **** load of pics

digitaldemigod

Are those Eibach sportline springs?

Post what you think of them... I'm considering those, neuspeed sports, or tein stechs
