How to install coilovers?

k3nnex · Feb 25, 2007

Hey guys, I'm a car noob, seriously. Anyways I came up with the great idea of getting Omni coilovers for my car and lower it enough to clear the wheel gap. The problem is I have NO CLUE how to do it and my friends who do know how to lower cars only done Civics and stuff.

Is there a guide on how to install coilovers for 98 Accord? I want to do it myself rather than pay someone to do my car.

our cars not hard at all. just rear endlinks are a bitch, haha. but yea man, its cake. and if you need to pick up a Haynes manual, thatll help you out, i had one to guide me when i did mine, but its pretty obvious if you just look over the car. and good choice with the omni's :thumbsup:

its really not too hard to change out a suspension on our cars like said before get a manual all of the tools needed and maybe annother person

I did mine myself was'nt too hard just take your time installing and all will be good

find someone local, and have them help you, and pay them in beer and pizza

I do have a guy I can pay, but I actually want to be the guy who works on his own car. It's going to be a good learning experience.

I installed my oem spring n shock last fall, did it alone under 4 hours. No need to touch the endlink, just remove a few bolts holding the sway bar and the bolts holding the endlink to the frame. Just move it a little for clearance. :beer:
