they shud be if u know how to do it. if u dunt know how to then u can learn. its not hard once u know how to do it
best thing to do is to find a mate who knows what they are doing and then help them install them on your car... then you will learn how to do it as well. You should know at least one person who knows what they are doing. Then buy him dinner or sth.
coilovers is liking changing shgock pretty much DIY-able =)
thanx guys.
i thinkn askin a mate in the know is the best option hehe
Souldnt be to hard to do - see here: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20809
The other option if you are in Sydney is to 'bennjamin' to do it for you (just drop him a PM).
yup if u need any help - its a straight foward process - alittle easier than installing a spring and shock combo :)
PM me
bennjamin: totally agree....the hardest thing i encountered when tryin to install springs is gettin the stupid top bolt off the shocks....especially hard if ur cars old n its a bit rusted....lesson learned =D
Hehehe - live and learn :)Quote:

ohhhhh spring compressor, allen key and spanner didn't do the trick for me... couldn't find that "right" amount of leverage!!! more like rattle gun and spring compressor
Wow, a rattle gun? Must be on pretty tight to remove that nut then!
mine was pretty rusted n no amount of oil or force got it off...so took it to the mechanics to get them to help me out with the gun...n no good, she wouldnt come out and so new shocks i got...=D
what leverage??
