Fronts are the only difficult ones because of the struts, the backs are cake!iheartmyxb said:hey guys i just got some Progress Lowering Springs how hard is it to install them?

I can tell you how to do the back.iheartmyxb said:alright thanks bro b ut like how do i do it?
take off the wheels.. and i dont know from there =/
just now starting to work onmy car and i dont want to **** it up.
thanks alot my 2 friends are gonna help me and they lowered a accord and civic and some other cars before so they said they help.Pitman said:Dude springs are no problem if you have a bit of mechanical ability and the right tools. I've done numerous suspensions and the xB is one of the easiest 45min job. Here's what you need:
Ratchet
17mm socket (top strut nut/rear shock nut)
12mm box wrench (top strut mount nuts)
19mm socket (strut to spindle bolts/nuts)
14mm socket (brakeline bracket bolt)
spring compressor
Floor jack/jack stands
2 new top strut nuts
Time
Now the thing is do you have any mechanical abilities?
or
Maybe one of the guys in your area who has done these can give you a hand
I just did a guys here in SC this past weekend
or
If you have any question as to your abilities...........pay a shop to do it.
There is nothing wrong with paying for a bit of "peace of mind"
Peace
alright htanks where do u think i can get some and for about how much? im kinda way low on cash i just bought wheels and springs so i dont really have money to be spendin.Pitman said:Not really I would bet that most guys don't replace them. But for a few bucks might as well ........these are not nylon lock nuts they have "gills" on the bottom that act as a locking mechanisim after one use they can "wear down" and might not be as affective ............but with that said......it's up to you. it is recommended however.
Peace
