If you have the right tools you can do it. There was a DIY in a special edition Honda Tuning about three months ago that told you how to do it on a 2K1 Civic. Very detailed...I'll see if I can scan some of it in and post it...

Also, it was with the same coil-overs you have the GC's.

Edit: typo

i have no pics and stuff, but its real easy, take off the wheel and u'll know how to do it, i suggest u get one more person to do it, i did it with my friend, should use 2 -3 hrs top, without air tool, but me and my friend were exhausted after using all the strength to take all the screw out and put it back on, just be sure to measure the exact angel when u take off the spring, like measure or anything, cuz we spent like an hour to proper fit the first shock/spring, than we measure it before taking it out, save us lots of time, and good luck
