spring compressor, jackstands, jacks, wrenches, screw drivers, flash lights, and a few people to help you out would be really nice.
it would make the job a lot quicker, easier, and funner.

Ingalls makes a commonly used camber adjustment kit.... Read through "Suspension 2.0" (post stickied to the top of the suspension section) also, check out a few of the suspension posts in the DIY section

Your first time doing it you should plan on 8 hours (in case you hit problems) but most likely you're going to be at it for 4-6 hours. As for what it takes to do it Thunder_X had a pretty good listing. Ideally you want 10-19mm sockets in both standard and deep well, along with two different lengths of extensions, Open ended wrench set, spring compressor, jack-stands, wheel blocks, A jack, WD-40 (in case a bolt doesn't want to come loose), Instruction/Service Manual (www.hondahookup.com/manuals/), A big piece of cardboard.


Cardboard: When you remove the old setup make a brief outline of where the lower forks are in relation to where the bolts on the cap are, that way when you assemble your new setup you won't have to fight it as you put it into the car. If the top isn't aligned with the bottom properly then one of them isn't going to line-up with the bolt locations in the car.
