okay i got a few projects i wanna do to my car, and don't know if i should attempt them myself or have it done professionally. basically i want to change my struts, my springs, my rotors/brake pads, and fix a hole the size of a golf ball on my exhaust piping. can i do these?

Well brake pads definantly, rotors can be a b!tch becaust Honda decided to be different and attached their rotors to the hubs, so they are not free-floating like other cars. Struts and springs...I would say get a mechanic to do, I personally don't know though, as I have never changed mine on my own. As far as fixing a hole...are you planning to weld it or what? If you know how to weld, then go for it, otherwise I don't really see how you would go about doing it.

If you still want to do rotors I have brand new Brembo cross drilled and slotted ones for 94-97 Accords. It's possible to get them on yourself but you'll probably want to take it to a shop and have them do it. My friends and I tried to remove the stock rotors and found it to be too difficult to do on our own so I'm just going to sell them. Shouldn't be too expensive to have a shop do it, but I'm thinking about just leaving the Accord the way it is =/

Book time on the rotors is 3.4hrs. to change the rotors and front pads. Multiply that and the hourly rate to get your total.
