Hi all, I have a '95 accord EX. I just ordered a set of goldlines (1.25 drop) and kyb gr-2's that will arrive by this weekend. Only problem is installation now lol I spent the money I was gonna use to install the springs on the shocks so I've committed myself to a DYI If any of you guys who installed springs\shocks yourself (in socal\orange county area) are interested I'll give you a force feedback racing wheel\pedals\shifter package that I paid over $200 for to come and help me out (I'm not totally clueless I did some work on my camaro I used to have and I'm mechaniccly inclined). I have a garage to work in\floor jack\jack stands and some tools but most of my tools are crap so if you can bring some good ones that would help, also a spring compressor if you have one. If not I'll get one. I live in huntington beach 3 blocks from the beach and will provide free cokes Here's the wheel I'm talkin about, it kicks *** and works perfectly. Act Labs Force RS Review

I'm just thowin this out there cuz it's the best thing I have to barter with but I have a couple other cool pc gadgets\lots 'o software that I could give ya instead\combo deal. I don't have any friends who know jack about cars and I could really use the help cuz I don't wanna f this up. I don't have a repair manual for the car but can pick up a cheapie haynes if you think it will be needed\will help. I'm not a psycho or anything and I would really appreciate it. If you wanted to work on your ride afterwards I'd help you out too.

Only thing I ask is that you know what the hell you're doing, don't want a blind leading the blind situation [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I know this is a civic forum but I can't imagine they'd be that different and with a repair manual and a "how-to" I found online I think we could do it pretty easily. Anyway if interested reply or email me at mrpinkdonttip@hotmail.com

i would think the suspension on your car is different from ours. we have mcpherson struts in the front and i think you have a double wishbone suspension. i would just suggest you get a shop do it... should be able to find a shop that does it for $80. if the shop messes up atleast you have someone to blame, if someone you find here messes up they could just get their keys and bone out... but ya if you still decide you want someone to help you try posting in the socal forum..

Thanks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Forgot about the double wishbone thing. Anyone know of a shop that'll do shocks & springs for $80? Please post the name\number or email me. I think I could swing that

eh, not sure about the huntington area but i got mine done at eagle rock for $70... well just for springs... try asking in the socal forum. if you cant get an answer there then just call your local shops i'm sure most people will quote you from 80-120. heard this place in san diego does it for $50.
