i was putting on my springs today and got the front ones done.

When we went to put on the back ones, we couldnt take off the lower strut bolt. It was just frozen on there. so i went to try the other back side and again it wouldnt come off and eventuallly it snapped and broke..

so now im gonna have to go to the dealer and get new bolts and wait to have the back springs put on. The front looks awesome with the new springs (H&R). the back is still high but the car still looks great.

I was wonderin if anyone else had a similiar problem and what they did about it?

 

I had the same problem got one out but left rear was stirpped......had to get a new bolt and bushings....good news it it only cost like $16. Good Luck.

 

Yup!

I snapped one in half. It stayed stuck in the bushing. Needed a new bolt and bushing!

I ordered new ones through the dealer and got them the next day!

 

I was when I was reading this post thinking about all the trouble some of us went through installing the fuckin things........ esp. you Dust!

 

Yeah!

It was a fucking bitch! Had to do it twice because the shocks blew within several days (damn bump stops!)!

I can laugh at it now!

 

One of my rear bolts was seized. They had to cut it off and I had to buy a new one...it cost me $30 cdn. Not bad.

 

I told the monkeys at the dealer to take my rear bolts off and then pu them back on because I told them what I was doing and feared breaking one. They did it with out a problem.

 

Same thing happened to my 91 accord when I put coilovers on- I had the fornt spirings on(down 3 inches) and the back at factory ride height when I went to the dealer- looked pretty funny

 

Hey I just got my Neuspeed & KYB's in, how much should install cost? I am not about to do them myself.

 

I think install for springs/shocks should be about $100-$150.....i'm doin mine myself next week!
