[civic7529]

hey i got a set of skunk2 coilovers and lower control arms.......i was curiouse as to how long it would take to install everything in one sitting...my job i have has me working very long hours...so i only have one day and its sunday. what kind of problems could i run into with a 95 civic at about 176,000 miles ....i am not an awsome mechanic and have never worked on suspention before......any tips and tricks would be very helpful.....also what tools will i need

if you have a mechanic friend or mechanically inclined friend you guys can knock this off in half a day. most major part that you have to tackle is probably rusted ass bolts sometimes they would break when trying to loosen them up so make sure to soak them with wd-40 or other lubricant that can loosen rusted bolts. good luck with it and remember takes lots of pictures and post it in here

dont bother breaking the lower shock bolt in the rear, just undo the top bolts in the trunk, then unbolt the lower control arm, should come out like butter. Honestly all in all, ive done it in about 2 hours including getting all the tools together, jacking up the car and doing each corner.

its ez exept for the rusty ass bolts soak them bitches with wd40 every couple hours like a day before you start

when i dropped my car two inches i had no clue wut i was doing. I had GR2 struts and H&R racing springs. I nailed it in 3 hours and it seemed like time flew by, as well i didn't even have the proper tools. It's really not that hard to do suspension work, however I just ordered tein prostreet coils today so we'll see how those go on
