any chance of install instructions for the springs and tools needed i have searched and no real answers. Hey rob that would be a sweet new article if you guys did that *hint hint* like you did for the sway bar also do we need an alignment with the progress springs? Im soo excited to get them tommarow!

So is this basicly free shipping compared to your usuall price?

 

The tools you need are wrench, spring compressors, and you might need an air gun to remove the nut that holds strut together. I was able to get the nut off of three struts, but one I needed to take to pep boys and they were cool enough to do it free. I went to my dealer to see if they make a special tool for this job, and they said to try snap-on. I have eibach, and didn't need an alignment. As far as instructions, its pretty self explanatory. Remove wheel then strut from car, compress spring, remove, compress new spring, place on strut exactly as the stock ones were, put strut back on car.

 

I thought the spring compressor wasnt needed with the Progress Springs atleast thats what I have read in previous posts has anyone actually installed there Progress springs themselves? IF so did you need the compressor and air impact gun?

 

Yea hope it helps!

spring compressr isnt needed - - i have them, but not installed yet (havent had the chance to) - - - and ROCK and GABE have told me that you dont need a spring compressor - - - and the only reason you might need an impact gun is if some of the bolts are too tight to get off by hand . . . . .

 

can somebody put some easy instructions on installing the sway bar and springs? that is my next project. so far everything has been easy and if i need to set aside 3 hours for the sway bar and a day for the springs, it would be good to know.

 

sway bar should take you an hour maybe a little more - - follow the instructions that come with the bar - - its pretty simple - - and as far as the springs go . . . . well, maybe ill post a little how to after i install mine?

 

Let me clear it up. Progress doesn't need spring compressor, Eibachs do. When taking off stock springs it would be nice to hold spring with a compressor but when you loosen nut the spring does have some tension so be careful! Impact wrench is almost mandatory, not because nuts are tight but because you need to loosen nut and tighten nut on top of strut quickly. This will insure that the shock shaft won't spin when you turn the nut. YOU CANNOT SCRATCH THE SHAFT! DO NOT HOLD IT WITH PLIERS OR SOMETHING! Please!!!! If you don't have an impact take the struts out and take them to a gas station or something. If they are not busy and you bat your eyes just right they prolly let you use an impact or swap springs there and then go home and reinstall them. $20 bucks wouldn't hurt either!

Ought oh.....shes crying! give her some springs.....



$144 for springs is damn good. Ill jump on this at the end of the week.

 

Hey I just ordered the Shark Racing SRGT kit and I was wondering if adding these springs would make my car to low like would I be able to get over moderate speed bumps? and will I scrape on every last bump in the road becuase the front bumper from the kit says its an extra 1 inch lower than stock so should I go with the Eibachs?

 

u should probably talk to the honda guys... they have lots of experience with they're lowered hondas going over speed bumps and up driveways and all... they can give you tips on how to handle it
