I recently bought a set of front/rear 'Progress Springs' for my 2004 Honda Civic Si with the intention of having them professionally installed. After speaking with a few people I was told that installing them myself is not that difficult. Any helpful hints? Thanks in advance!

try www.honda-tech.com and click on the civic section. those guys should be able to help u out. by the way, u might need a set of camber kit after u lower ur car to prevent ur tires from uneven wear

well ive changed springs on a 94 dx.. its not that hard..all u need is two friends, metric wrenches , sockets, allen key set, hammer, 4 jack stands, jack, flash light, 2 spring compressers , and .wd-40.this is the way we did it.. we put the car up on the stands... took off the wheels and unbolted the struts from the car ( under the hood and in the trunk) then we unbolted the struts from the suspension arms......... also in the front - u have to take the brake lines off the strut.....after u have them out.. u use the spring compresser to compress the spring. then u use an alen wrench and spanner to remove the top bolts........ there are two of em......after that u jsut slide the cap off along witht eh bushing... the comes off the spring.........then u remove the spring compressers off the old springs,, and u put em on the new 1, slide the compressed spring onto teh strut, and do everything u did but in reverse... it took us 4 hrs to do everythign...... but im sure u u get a Haynes manual from Autozone... u can get it done in no time at all......have fun....~chino
