You just mad u don't have a 125ft dresser

 

hate that there isnt a DIY spring install write up

 

It's pretty basic bro, take off the strut bar, take out the shock and spring (they're together lol) then you'll need to take apart your shocks/springs and replace the spring with your new one. Get a spring compressor though.

Oh and have fun with taking the back seats out

 

That looks awesome, i'm trying to do the something to my TL! but where did you get all of your parts from?

 

I'm actually looking at replacing my stock TL shocks and springs for TL type S equipment. They come in one piece?? Like Coilovers?

 

Hilarious. A 1989 Accord LXi was my first car when I was 16. That thing had 260,xxx miles on it before we gave it away. It probably still runs.

 

it's an easy enough install...very straightforward...the rears are the biggest PITA, but still very doable.

for what you'll pay for the type s suspension, i'd look into some aftermarket full coilovers...they definitely come fully assembled and will allow you to set your height.

 

Mine was an LXi module also

 

^^^ I agree with Jer....look into an aftermarket setup....

I know Tein's dont come pre-assembled but the XLR8 ISC N1's come fully assembled with top hats and everything....all you need to do is drop the old suspension out and put the new one in....no need for any spring compressor or anything....

and the best part, all that for $850 shipped....and you can adjust dampening and preload....i would def look into it....

as a matter of fact, check this guy selling it on the BM for $800shipped....

Small update, rear camber kit ordered today for the upcoming

 

 

Go to bed grouch

 

Ok. So my simply (in theory) spring install in 2 weeks has turned into a project now. Ordered new shocks along with a rear camber kit and have scheduled to have my rear fenders rolled that afternoon.

 

 

Btw: took the visors off for now as I like the clean sleek look

 

 

That's funny, I always hated visors and now I can't picture my car without them. On a black car, they add an extra visual element to the profile that I dig.

Ok, so springs and shocks, and rolled fender and camber kit in one shot...well, it'll be a 6 hour install BUT at least you have easy access to everything as you work. How much you paying for the roll?

 

60 for both rears rolled from a reputable shop about 10 minutes away

And you think it can be knocked out in 6 hours really? Have my brother coming over to help next Saturday and I'm Friday I'm going to get the front on jackstands and have the front wheels off and rear interior out to save time for Saturday.

 

I can forsee ISC N1's?

 

You lost me swoosh

 

^^^ thought you ordered new coilovers....

 

i too, hate window visors.

good luck with the suspension install!

 

No on the coilovers.

Installing h&r springs, new shocks, rear camber kit and fender roll

 

aaah....

well then good luck with the install LOL

 

thanks, hopefully the small jump start i get friday will help move it along saturday afternoon

 

I've done rear suspension, including adjusting the coilovers to the right height...in 4 hours.

But I've done it a few times now. I'm sure you can knock it out...be sure to rent a spring compressor to swap over tophats. You have impact gun or air tools? Using the compressor with hand tools will take a LONG time.

Why didn't you just lower it first and see if you even needed the camber kit and the roll? I mean, good idea to have it done anyway, but it might be needed.

 

Believe the h&r will be about a 2 inch drop and with the spacers I want to be sure it won't rub

 

^^^ just a useful tip which I shall put out here is make sure you have a breaker bar....

there were couple bolts that wont budge with the air tools and breaker bar did the job for us

 

I have one now. Got one when I couldn't budge the fill bolt on the transmission 3 weeks ago

 

Big thing I recommend doing: spray all the bolts with PB Blaster!

 

you are covered in that case

 

Hey Dan, where did you find the tutorial on how to clear headlights? They look sick.

 

^^^all over the forums...check the 3G garage.

 

I AM the tutorial

 

Did alot of reading in other threads about it but used tylers help. Mainly he was there for company

 

Isn't that all he's useful for?

 

 

You know you were very helpful and loved the ride in the g

 

I'm glad I could help

Yeah the G is a lot of fun. I think I averaged 15 mpg those two weeks I had it
