Yes it can be done by your self
if you are talking about just axle back,
there are two bolts with springs and
two rubber holder that comes off



make sure part # 13 goes on or it will rattle like ****
also make sure that you lub the bolts (#17s) first with nut buster
or at least WD40 and hammer it a bit
those bolts are not strong as other bolts which will break off easily
and it costs $13 in Honda.
it's an easy 123 job. just need come cautions.

yeah i got bolts and everything with it. i hope everything goes better than the spring install! we started on it and the never finished, decided to stop because we didnt want to mess up the tie rods. good thing though. had some stuff come up where i needed some money so i had to sell my springs. but im sure this will be a lot easier from what ive read and can see.

dude the exhaust is 100000000000000x easier than spring installs.. all there is to the exahust besides ur aftermarket stuff is bolts.

the whole stock system is just taking bolts off and hangers.. thats it. check the DIYs, its super easy (no experience required)

5 bolts. Use liquid wrench. makes it 50x easier to crack the cat bolts.

one more question. my dad and step dad thinks it would be better if i just took it to a shop and got it done, but i dont really want to waste 40-60 dollars if i can just do it myself. i think i can do it myself personally, but how high does the car really need to be off the ground? and do i need to have all sides jacked up at the same time or what?
