    the method for taking the rears off is the same on an Eg isn't it?

    The front was exactly the same except the back i undid the lca bolt the lower shock bolt and the top two

    now the lca is dropping down but the shock seems to keep extending (its standard) and is sitting hard up against the lca no matter what i've tried lifting it ect

    So how do i get it out.. do i remove the other lca bolt and remove the whole lca or should i remove the sway bar mounts so the lca's drop even further??

    Some urgent help would be good as i had to borrow my grandparents car to get to work -.-'

    remove the sway bar so that LCA can drop down further.

    The stock springs on the EG's are quite long.

    tighten the 2 bolts holding the top of the suspension up to the correct torque
    How do you measure the torque when tightening something?
    14.7psi = atmospheric pressure at sea level = NA!

    edit; because jason's a bastard and beat me to posting i thought i'd like to add that you should use a 9mm ring spanner to hold the shock piston while tightening the 2 nuts that hold it to the top hat

    Thanks alot! This DIY makes it seem fairly easy to change springs/sussy setup, are there any common gremlons that appear when attempting this?

    If your not careful.. the spring can pop of the strut....make sure its secured between spring compressors...dats all i can think off...
    I MISS VTEC.... BOOST is OVERATED lol

    Great guide. used it today on my ek and got koni yellows + itr springs on. A suggestion for the front springs/shocks. To get the shock out easier, undo the fork bolt + pinch bolt first, use a rubber mallet to tap it a little loose and then if u push down a little on the control arm, there's plenty of room to get the strut out.
