instructions.Where do I go?

buy a haynes manual....itll show you how to remove the springs...but it is a hard job...so i would take it somewhere to have it done

It looks simple, but it's not. Take it to a motorsport shop or a garage. Maybe hired a neighbor who has done it before. It's simple for them and should cost you a good $100-$150 for labor.

any suspention shop, or normal garage can do it for you.if youre handy and have the tools, you just need to pull off the old shocks/springs, and put the new springs back on them.

just do a search. the hardest part is you need a spring compressor (very expensive). most auto garages will install them for around $200 to $300. some cars even have to have the rear seats removed in order to get to the shock towers.

just the spring are ok to do by urself but tha struts id leave to someone else so what u do is in the back loosen tha top strut bolt and than pull it towards u and take old spring out and drop new one in but ull need a spring compesser and tha front u gotta take tha whole thing apart

depends on the year of your civic. Needed: spring compressor -> rent one for like $50 at auto shop(kragen, pepboys). I did mine with friends who have done it before, but ran into some probs. take it to a shop if your not comfortable with your car knowledge/experience.DONT' HEAT SPRINGS AND CUT THEM. WORSE THING YOU COULD DO.

be nice if you gave us a year on the car!Honda has two utterly different suspension systems on these cars and you need the year to determine which one in on the car!If you have macpherson struts- go to a shop, they are friggin dangerous for the unskilled with improper toolsIf you have the double wishbone go to a shop as changing springs involved disassembling ball joints and brakes and can be nearly impossible for the unskilled and lacking of toolsGo to a shop, Eibach-OK Ckoice, what ya got for shocks/struts or in England"Dampers"????It just isn't safe to do this at home OKASE Cert Auto tech, 30 years
