Spring install? - 2/7/2007 12:21:14 AM    HuYnHness Posts: 557 Joined: 8/16/2006 Status: offline i tried to ask about this in the DIY section but i dont really think people really read those sections i know i barely do Is it easy to install new springs in a 04 sedan? like can my dad and i do it at home instead of taking it out to a shop? do we need any special tools that maybe we can rent from autozone? The eibach prokit lowers the car 1.4 front/1.2 rear I want a somewhat sportier stance and a lttle bit better control but not slammed too low Is this enough or should i try for more with a different kit? Thanks guys _____________________________ Black 2004 Accord EX 4dr AT 4 cyl. Post #: 1

Let me see if I can find them... http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/rodi_1940_40681628 That's about the only thing I can think of. Good luck, StevePhy _____________________________ 'Ain't nothin' but tooty-fruity, get on the floor, if 'ya got that booty!' 2000 V6 Coupe (in reply to HuYnHness) Post #: 2
