It really depends on how many hand tools you have. An impact makes it go a lot faster, but other than basic stuff the only requirement is a spring compressor(which you can rent). I did it in 2 1/2 hours. The first 45 min was spent messing up so it really dosn't take that long. I installed TEIN S. TECH springs and I had another guy helping me just to hold stuff. Make sure you get a ball joint seperator to drop the lower arms. Don't drop them by the inner bolts, that will screw up the alignment. Also, disconnect the connection from the sway bar unless you have superhuman strength. It makes it much easier. You basically drop the whole coilover assembly and compress the springs while they are on the ground. Pay attention to the orientation of the shock bracket on bottom and the hat bolts on top, saves you time when putting them back in. The rears aren't in between the upper arm, so they take about a minute to drop. Also, be careful when removing the liner in the trunk to get to the top of the shock. It also helps to remove that brace in front of the spare tire(hope you have tiny hands). All in all, I didn't have too much trouble. But make sure you get driveshaft spacers or it will kill your cv's after a while(mine started to vibrate under acceleration). Good luck.

This post is 5 years old. You're respond to a 5 year old troll.

You're means you are. You just said "You are respond to a 5 year old troll." You are a moron.

Haha, maybe I am a moron but, I know how to read the date stamp on a post. The troll post was s22k, he probably doesn't even own an S any more.

"You're" is correct. "ing" is what's missing. As in "you're responding to a...".

Who's a moron?

At least you still have a '2k.

spring install couldn't be easier.

Just make sure you have a helper, spring tensioner, and a electric torque drill.

it'll cut 1/2 time if you have a friend to help, but it's relatively easy.

make sure you goto honda dealership to get all the torque specs for the bolts you take out and don't rush.

I'll did a diy for the tein coilover, maybe that will help. Good luck.

yeah I dont know what all you people are complaining about... that shit really isn't all that hard. Sounds to me like a bunch of people just don't know how to do it.

If you haven't done it before... it's best to have someone around who has. If you're planning on tackling it yourself, and you dont have an experienced helper around... take it slow and follow the directions in your service manual.

I'm retiring this 5+year old thread. Stick a fork in it, it's done.
