OK. I am lowered on sportlines. I need struts soon. Has anyone installed these on their own? Did u need a spring compressor or not?

That's cool. I knew how to do it basically, I just needed to know about the compressor. It kix ass that I won't need one. Those are good instructions tho. I'll probably print them just in case I would need them. Thanks for the help.

yeah, using corbin's instructions and a spring compressor I was able to install my KYB AGX in about 6 - 7 hours. Then from that prior experience I was able to install my friends springs on his 4 door accord in about 4 hours including 2 trip to autozone due to a fucked up spring compressor. By the way, thanks a lot corbin.

Yes, but not to take them off.. to get them back ON..

I didn't think i was going to need one, so i didn't bother.. Then i started trying to put everything back on.. Whoops.

The rear's you probably won't . i was able to compress them with my hands. The fronts, it's a must.

I have sportlines and didn't need a spring compressor at all. Your suspension set-up is the same as mine pretty much sportlines/tokicos so I couldn't see it being different at all. Rears are a piece of cake to do, Fronts are a little more of a pain in the ass but with corbins write up you should be able to do it no problem.
