will i run into probs w/ shock/spring install?

alright i'm planning on doing a shock/spring swap in my car in the next month or so, and i want to do it myself w/ my father. neither of us have done this before, but in reviewing directions i feel pretty confident. i feel confident if everything goes as planned which i feel it may not. i have been driving around w/ blown shocks in at least the front left side of the car, and possibly front right. occasionally i'll bottom out, and i'm worried that i may be causing damage when i do that since there's really nothing absorbing the impact. what damage coudl i be causing? i just don't want to take everything apart and realize something is bent or the old strut is mashed in place or something like that that i won't be able to handle, or will need parts for that i can't just go get at auto zone.

bbbbummpp........

my kyb agx's and h&r race kit should be here tomorrow so i'm trying to do this on saturday

there shouldnt be much damage teh shocks and springs still absorbe but ull really see if theres any damage at all when u do the swap. if i can remember right the h&r drop the car about 2.25 inch if i remember right so u will more than likely need a camber kit for the front but for the rear u can just do teh washer trick(do a search plenty of treads about it).

really i thought i could get away w/o one? also, is it necessary to use a torque wrench?

u should be ok for shock intal. if can get acess to one might help a bit but not totaly nessary
