That's for a Civic, but I used it to lower my Accord and it is pretty damn similar. I think most Hondas are pretty similar as far as suspensions go.

You'll need:

A ratchet with:
14mm socket
17mm socket
12 mm socket
possibly 10mm socket
14mm wrench
17mm wrench
5-7mm allen wrenches
Spring Compressor recommended if you don't want to lose appendiges.

Let me know if you have any other questions about it. It took me about 24 hours to do it by myself (split over 2 days). The reason it took so long is because I ran into many problems (couldn't remove strut, broke ratchet, siezed nut, etc).

If you get a siezed nut, try some vise grips to remove it, because if you're like me, you might strip it with a 14mm wrench.

Best of luck, let us know how it turns out!
