[xamraci]

I will be attempting to install my H&R springs and MONROE shox on sunday...If anyone has some free time sunday and the weather isnt gastly cold...PM me or post if a knowledgeable .02 can be added to the process or you can come by and assist.

[Jess]

directions would be helpful.

i might swing by, honda sus install is easy. I would let u borrow my spring compressor if it wasnt back home.

[xamraci]

directions would be helpful.
That is understandable...probably going to do it over at andersons crib...he has a level work space...
I will also needa to get a spring compressor from autozones or advanced

"The Brooke" out off of wire roadon the left headed out of town...just turn to the right when you pull in and drive back straight until you see a honda on jack stands :wink:
anderson can give better directions, but that is the jist of it
Weather is still a big factor

[Jess]

If I'm not still hung over or sleeping I'll head over there...but if i dont make it....remb to cut the bumpstop a lil. The directions should tell you how much of the bumpstop needs to be cut. I didn't cut mine and it bounced really bad and finally got them cut and rode a lot better...its just known on Accords. Also Accord bumpstop are fukin huge compare to Civics and Tegs. Like I said, the directions should tell you how much to cut. Also when doin the rear, the top pillar mount or part where u loose the bolts on top is behind the rear seats and not in the trunk. Just fold down the rear seat and those lil things on the side, just take those off and if I remb a plastic piece should be there too and behind it is the top mount of the shock. I think thats all you need to know. Good luck man!

Much thanks to jess, clint, and chappy! Rick and I are 3/4s thru the job now...rust reared its ugly head on the last shock/spring assembly. We are dealing with the problem(dremel). Thanks for the tools and assitance jess. Thanks Clint and Chappy for help and knowledge(and jack chappy). All much appreciated. My ride is slammed YO!

FINALY, rick and I finished lowering the car...

The passenger side shock was rusted on the top hence the Bolt and nut where ONE PIECE. "Completely rusted thru". We dremeld thru most of it until my BRAND NEW dremel siezed up(faulty battery). We then got my drill and used the cutting discs until around 12:00am when we called it a day and went to sleep. Early this morning(9:00am) we finished the job with my Craftsman Cordless drill and a few more cutting bits. THe nut broke loose and the assembly was free. THe rust was so extensive it had coroaded(sp?) much of the BUMP STOP(atleast 1/4). Bump stop cut and new assembly in place...nuts tightend and bolts held TIGHT...the accord now sits LOW. The ride is much improved from stock. Smooth and pretty damn responsive, it holds the road much better than it did before.

THanks again Jess, Clint, and chappy. Tools will be returned Tuesday evening at the meet. Really cant thank you all enough for the help.

RUST SUCKS COCK!

And wiggie-I cant imagine a car that has been up north for a while. that would suck pretty hard core compared to the rust I experienced

[AadosX]

Ever consider some lighting changes?

[xamraci]
