is it difficult to install new springs? my buddy and his friend have installed their springs on their integras. we have a spring compressor. i was wondering if the install wwould be the same as on the integra? or will we run into and difficulty, or is there anything I should know/read?

if you've done it on their cars, you should be fine
nothing too special on the max, air tools help, but aren't necessary and you should use a torque wrench when retightening everything

for the rears, you will have to take out the back seat, but that's easy enough

I just put the writing on my eibachi faacind up. I just finished my install and the only real prob was that the front caliper bolt was frozen
