Lowering springs help please!!

[gsrteg]

first off i got a 2000 integra and my H&R Sport Springs just came in. It lowers the front 1.75 and the rear 1.5. i understand i need a spring compressor and stuff but do i also NEED a camber kit? and if so whats a good camber kit that wont break the bank? and if anyone knows were i can get it installed for a decent price it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot ctv

Only need it if yur tires do a noticeable tilt, but that's with big drops most of the time

[gsrteg]

thanks EG

No prob
I got a slight drop on my hatch w/ lowering springs & the tires wear evenly which btw is how u can tell if yur alignment is good...

Well if ur dropping a car the compressor aren't really needed. I never use them unless I'm doing something with stock suspension from a friends car or w.e. And no u don't need camber kits. Like he said that's for slammed cars really I think it's fine

[gsrteg]

thanks guys, so im not going to worry about a camber kit at the moment, but i still dont know who or how to get the springs in. Is it hard or you think i should have a pro do it? i get the general idea but ive never carried it out yet.

[gsrteg]

Btw my cars struts/ suspension is stock all im doing is changing the springs. If that makes it more clear

It's pretty easy man anyone can do it. For the front it's a 17mm bolt and nut at the bottom of the wishbone then a 14 right on top on the wishbone two 14s at the top and a 10 for the brake line of it's bolted in. Then the strut comes out. Then u unscrew the 14mm nut at the top with the alen key in the middle but it usually strips so I use a locking wrench and put it on tight the shiny bar of the strut and unscrew the 14 but away from u so it shoots away from u (if u choose to not use a spring compressor). Remember how everything slid out. Put everything back in the same way but with the new spring. And in the back it's a 14 mm qt the bottom and two at the top. Just hope and praythe 14 at the bottom dosent snap. Because u might have to jizz a few times trying to take it out.

^^use pb blaster on the 14 mm in the back at the bottom on the lower control arm!!! Guarantee no other bolts will snap just those two in the back

Woah! If it shoots out, that stock spring has enuff pressure on it to break his wrist (seen it happen before) gsrteg, if ud like, u supply the tools & I'll help u so u don't injure yurself cuz that's mad easy to do when yur not aware of potential risks

Dam that's crazy. I guess to be safe u can pick them up at autozone for free (50 deposit). I used to step on the spring and with a ratchet unscrew it and let it pop off. Now I have air tools so it even easier for me loll
