(Euro) Advice on installing Tein SS coil overs

**mugen88** · 04-03-2006 12:27 PM

Can someone tell me wether I only have to remove the back seat to install the Tein SS for the rears or do I have to take apart the boot as well to install them.

I have read through various forums mentioning removing the back seat but not a lot of detail.

Better yet has anyone got a copy of the Honda manual that shows the diagram and the various components in installing the rear suspension (what you have to do).

Cheers

all you gotta do is remove the backseats
not necessary to remove the boot, if u want pics i can post, but not difficult though.

open the boot and pull the drawstrings to release the rear seats
unclip the rear seats (just pull them up) and move them out of the way.
on either side of the car underneath the side paddings there is a nut you need to unscrew in order to remove the side padding (which clips right off).
Use a rachet.
unclip the side paddings after removing the screw.
now u can get to the stock springs and remove them

Thanks for the speedy response.

If you have the photoe's handy could you post em up.

Also what size rims are you using (eg. 17", 18") and out of the 16 levels of damping what setting have you got your dampers at?

What damping setting have got for the front and rear?

Do you use this damping setting for daily driving?

Sorry about the 20 questions but would rather pick up some tips from someone whose gone through the experience.

Cheers

You don't need to remove the back seats...

All you need to remove is the corner of the back seats, the part sitting behind the seatbelts on the side. There is a 10mm bolt on the bottom, you need to nudge your way through to get it, after that is removed, just slide that corner bit upwards and you will be able to remove it, you'll see the suspension tower there....

ya not removing them but unclipping them helps you get to the 10mm.

i've got them clicked to level 8 (which is for standard ride) dampening, and i use that for daily driving
i've got stock 17's on my car

i'll take some photos when i can sorry for late reply just been busy
