johnnydinh701 · Sep 7, 2010

okay i jsut got some H&R springs for a decent price and now i want to install them but i dont know how to. i know there are DIY threads on here but ive never done suspension installations myself. so just wondering if any socal guys out there want to help me install the springs. i will treat you to dinner if u help me out haha

or what is a decent price from a shop to just get the springs installed?

Niiice... gonna go low! By the way, I never installed the shift boot with the Razo knob... I don't know how you got that to fit on there and never got around to figuring it out.

fasho! the time it takes it about 2 hours to 3 hours max! shops could charge from 100 to 200 depending really. but thats average for a honda.

but sometimes you might be able to find some mechanics off craigslist that does these kinds of things for cheap. like 50-100.

i hope you find some socal members !! there's a lot down there. good luck! did you get the race springs or the sports?

damn really that only took me like 5 minutes to put on... but u have to unscrew the bottom part and then use an allen wrench to keep the knob in place and the shift boot i took out my center console and jsut put the center console laying on top

At first I too was debating if I should try it myself or not. I bit the bullet, went ahead and did it. Wasn't bad at all, although it did take me 9 hours to get it completed. Where in Valencia are you located at?

I'd be down to help too but you're too far haha. Get a friend to help, especially when compressing the springs, its soooo tiring lol

Pay no more than $100 at a shop to do it.

On another note, you should pair them up with some aftermarket shocks to fully enjoy them. Stock shocks will be okay though if this is just a temporary setup

at a shop its about $25 a spring so $100 total. If its your first time doing it with little to no tools I woulndnt. It takes to much time and with no tools it makes it that much harder. It's an easy job but you'll get stuck a few times if you dont know how to do it. I changed my setup like 3 times already and I did an 04 Acura TL very similar but I have enough tools to do the job.
