Help with aftermarket parts, PLEASE!!!

[CivicSkater]

I was wondering, does anybody know of a book for imports, or even just Honda's, that helps you out installing aftermarket parts? Because I didn't store my accord last winter, but i just got it painted, did a bunch of body work, and redid my exhaust. (is redid a word?) anyways, im getting a beater, and i wanna store my accord in the winters, but i wanna get a lot done in my garage this winter, so does anybody know of a book that would maybe do a step by step through like cold air intake installs and stuff like that? I would appreciate it alot. Thanks.

All of the aftermarket parts I have bought have come with instructions or were self-explanatory. Or if you need more help, just do some searching on the web for someone who did a similar install. I have found this very helpful for my ECU and sound system installations. Other than that, a good service/repair manual is a very helpful thing to have. As far as one book that covers all aftermarket isnstallations, I dont think one exists since the aftremarket parts are always changing. Hope that helps.

Well the only thing i was really worried about was coilovers and a cai. Because im getting a cheap cai off ebay, cuz i really dont believe that it makes much difference, and i know they dont come with instructions. Also, im pretty sure coilovers dont come with instructions.

The CAI install is pretty easy. Basically take out everything ahead of the Mass Air Flow sensor. Then bolt on your CAI, and secure in the heat shield. If you have probs let me know. To change your coilovers, you will need a spring pretensioner among other tools. This is kind of an expensive piece of equipment, and danerous as well. Best to find a shop that will do the install of the coilovers for you, or a willing friend. Unless you have such equipment, in which case, more power to you. Good luck

Coilovers aren't that bad... so long as you have air tools. I did mine with a friend last weekend. You can rent a spring compressor for 40 bucks at AutoZone. You get all 40 back when you bring it back.

Ic, well thanks for the help. I don't know what im gonna do, cuz i dont no anybody who would know how to do it right, but i wanna do as much as i can myself. How much would it cost to get coilovers installed, like just the sleeve ones and a camber kit?

[CivicSkater]

Does anybody know where i can get a camber kit for a cheap price. One thats good for like a 2 or 3 inch drop? What's the rule? 1 degree for each inch? So like 2 inches would be a 2 degree camber kit?
