Default Coilovers Coming This Week

I just ordered them and they will be here this week. I am going to put them on sunday. I read mixed reviews on them and most people that did not like them did not have them. The people that did seemed to be very happy with them. I wanted something adjustable for not a lot of $$$$. Based on what I expect from my car right now I think they will be great. If not, I will sell them. Is there anything special I need to know before installing them. I am experience with honda suspension. I changed the shocks/springs on my old civic 4 times and have done some on friends hondas but I just want to be sure there isn't anuything crazy different about the S. If anyone around Tampa is bored on sunday and wants to come help/hang out I'll be at my parents house in Valrico.

The rear driver's side is a bitch... Fuel line blocking access. There are ways around it, including pulling out the fuel filler through the gas door.

Search UTH for tips. I would read a how-to... there are quite a few I'm sure. Check the FAQ's at the top of the UTH forum.

I have pretty big hands but I manage to get my hand/arm back there and hand tighten the nut then with a socket...

I can put these suckers on in no time too, too bad your not in Orlando. I'll send you a PM if I decided to go out to Tampa (never been there).

I ordered them from import tuning garage. They are one of the sponsers. It was nice because they have AIM so i could ask questions and get quick answers. They were very helpful. They also have a great price. I will def let everyone know how i like them.
