oh, and you will probably need to cut out the lower bolt, therefore, you might want to buy a new one before you start the job.

Its not too hard at all. It makes life a lot easier when you replace the struts at the same time. If you dont, your eventually gonna have to replace the struts cuz they will go out.They are not made for lowered cars so they will blow.

I lowered mine myself in Automotive technology at tech school. Definatly wait until you have shocks. I used my stockies and they blew out in the first month. It's not hard. It took me and a classmates about three hours to do all four. A camber kit is recommended but not needed. You will definatly need an alignment though.

best bet is to get springs and shocks out of the way.

yeah i think ill get the springs and shocks. and yeah my school has an alignment machine.

today my teacher was tellin me that last year they had an 01 cl type s. and some dumb retart shuved a crow bar into the radiator, and the repair was 1200 dollars, and the car was a donation from acura so kids could work on it. and they had a bunch of cool plans for it, and becasue they didnt wanna spend the money on the repair because its not worth it, because its illeigal for them to sell it or drive it on the street. so in the end, they crushed it. and it crushed me to find out

IT HAD EXACTLY 38 MILES ON IT!!!!!
