Spring Install Question

as of now i am more then likely to be buying the comptech springs, feel like the ebach kit is too much of a drop w/ and the Aspec/Mugen is way too much money even though id love to go all out like that.

Im 18, so im gonna be ripped off when I go to places asking how much for an install, local shops said allready about 340$ +....which seems like alot consitering i wont even be paying that much for the springs... So what prices are reasonable so I dont get ripped off here

Id do it myself, did the speakers, cold air, JDM grill, Calipers, ect all myself, but suspension is somethin im a little weary to do myself, heard too many storys about it ripping an arm off, combined w. my fear of permently f*cking up the car

In all honesty, if you have soneone else do it I'd suggest taking the back seat out yourself. They may not care for your leather seats as much as you would. I did mine with a buddy who has a garage. It's pretty simple if you have an air tools.

I wouldn't pay any more than 100 - 150 bucks to have an install done, but your location might play part of it.

Dude, if the spring install was as easy as it is for an Integra, I don't think you'll have a problem. Its actually really simple. My father and I installed my lowering springs for my Integra and the only issue we came across was bolts that were rusted thru. Other than that, it would of been a breeze. Then my bro and I installed lowering springs on his 2004 WRX...also a breeze. All you need is spring compressors and a socket wrench.

Dude....if you installed springs on your teg, then you'll definitely be able to do the TSX on your own. The front is exactly the same as the teg.

The rear is pretty easy, Its just one bolt holding the side bolsters down. its covered by the bottom seat cushion, but you could still get to it without taking the cushion out. Both side bolsters then pop off (up and pull). You should now be able to see the bolts for the shocks. No need to take the rear deck board off.

Hope this helps....good luck
