Coil over installation

[civichatch99]

Hello i just got some r1 raceing coil overs and i was wondering how to install them if anyone could give me a site or something that would help me put these on that would be great. Thanks

first off... do oyu know how to remove your struts? or is that the starting point of your problem? because this is all a relativley easy procedure

Like duatone said its pretty easy. Unless something goes wrong, remove the old struts, you might need a spring compressor to take the strut apart, then install the coilovers on either new shocks or using the stock ones(which i dont recommend). Cut your stock bumpstocks like in half put everything back together, throw the assembly back under the car and tighten everything up. Set your height, get an alignment. And bamm, now you can pick-up chicks, in your squashed out ride.

peace

-So I've recently aquired a set of coilovers, and I WAS planning on running them with my stock shocks,... But after doing some research it has come to my attention that that would not be good,...
-So in that case can someone tell me a GOOD shock to replace my stock ones.
-The coilovers were bought New on EBay, and are made by Super High technology (basically a no name brand) :finger:
-I also wanted to know if it would be advantagious to then turn around and buy a camber kit for front and back.
-My main goal is to pimp out my car, While saving money at the same time.
-Lastly I saw an Integtra last night with a set of 5 star Katanna's And man I started to foam at the mouth. The Tegra was dropped with the rims tucked in under the wheel wells, (Which is the exact look I am going for in my Civic)...

Anyways any and all suggestions are welcome... :help:

well i was told by civicsiracer that using stock struts is all bad. since you wanna save money, im not sure what struts you should get, but koni yellows are some of the best, but definetly not the cheapest.

and if you wanna tuck, you probably wont be needing a camber kit. just make sure you get an alignment. you probably wont be able to correct camber much if any since you wont have any play because of the wheel well
