I just ordered some H&R sport springs for my 96 lx. what is the difficulty of installing them myself? i dont have a spring compressor.

if you do a search you should come up with a post of mine that had a step by step, in fact I might have it bookmarked, but it is really simple to do a spring install by yourself.

http://www.hazone.com/hciv5spring.htm here you go, it's for a 5th gen, but the steps are still the same for your car.

btw, you can just go out and rent a spring compressor, of if you have big c-clamps you can use those to compress the spring too.

I believe autozone rents springs compressors for a $40 depoist that is refunded to you once you return it. Also, Sears sells some for like $40.
