Just go to a auto parts store and rent a spring compressor for 30 bucks and put them on yourself. I did mine(once for coilovers, once for my lowering springs) and I have little to no technical skill or know-how. The biggest b**** is compressing the stock springs down to get the struts out without shooting your eye out. Once that's done, it's just a matter of putting it back together.

You'll need a jack and stand, spring compressor and the socket wrench... that's about it.

im with decipher its pretty much bolt on hardest part would be removing stock struts considering the bolts tend to be siezed.

yea, hit those shits with some PB blaster and get out your mallet, especially on the LCAs if you have to remove them for any reason.

I'd have to agree with everyone else. They aren't difficult to install, it will just take longer your first time. The rear lca bolts to tend to seize up so make sure you soak them with pb blaster. Here is a how to from with I installed my skunk2s http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=130371
