coilovers

well hopefully when i get my tax refund i plan on getting a set of coilovers (F2s)... my friend set he would help me w/ the install but says he needs an air compressor?... is an air compressor necessary w/ an install of coilovers or does it help make the job easier in any way?

if youre getting the function forms, you don't need a spring compressor, its a full coilover so all you need to do is take out your old one and slap in the new one..

you don't really need an air compressor.. it jus makes doing the job faster but imo.. its not really needed... every bolt/nut can come off with just a ratchet and maybe some parts a breaker bar if really rusted..

and your stocks should fit into the 6th gen accords. (98-02 AV6)

i wouldn't put yours on a i4...

difference in front end weight so her front end is gonna be sitting high while her rear end will be normal...

why does she want it? its not gonna make a difference except maybe raise the car by liike.. a finger due to the TL weighing like 100lbs more

IIRC, 98-02 AV6 & 99-03 TL springs/shocks are compatible.
