Im about to purchase a set of Tein CS' for My04. I just need to know how to install them because im not too sure if i would understand the Tein instructions. Does anyone have a DIY instructions or a FAQ type of thing on this?

pretty self-explanatory...? Not really

I suggest you purchase a Honda Shop manual, that should cover most of the steps. It will give you all the torque values also.

Most everyone unbolts the upper A-arm mounts from the brackets instead of removing the ball joint.

Also you need to load the suspension before the final torquing of the bolts, I used a floor jack to jack up the lower A-arm.

actually i am about to go and do mine also. i had an excellent one bookmarked, and i have been searching for days for it, lost the bookmark when i re-installed software.

if any of you have a good DIY i would also be interested. yes i have used the search function. type in coilover or coilover + install, a million irrelevant things get searched and everything gets listed by date modified and i know this DIY was from like 2 years ago.

thanks.

Why is this? I recently did a self-alignment, and noticed about 3/4" more wheel gap on my drivers front wheel than the rest of the wheels. I wonder if the torque from the bolts holds the LCA in position, which if the suspension is unloaded, holds the LCA lower...
Ill bust out my helms I just recieved yesturday
