Hello- I recently bought a '99 Civic HX, which the previous owner had
put in a coil-over kit that stiffened the suspension and lowered the
car about 1.5". Now I have changed jobs and have a much longer
commute, and the hard ride is starting to get old (handles great
though in cornering and quick maneuvering). The car has low mileage
(65k) and gets 40+ MPG, so I'd rather restore the original ride height
and quality than sell it for something else. I have two questions
before I get too far along:

Is this reasonably do-able for a weekend mechanic?
and
What tools and parts am I likely to need?

I did see in another post the suggestion to get the shop manual for my
car, and have ordered one.

Thanks!
