1.
We start by removing all four wheels from the car.
2. The shock is held in place by two bolts.
3. Once the bolts are removed, unbolt the brake line clamp.
4. We enlist the help of a pry bar to dislodge the rear suspension assembly.
5. Dont forget to the do the other side too.
6. The upper shock tower mounts is accessed by removing the plastic trim near the wiper.
7. Three bolts hold the shock in place.
8. The first two can be accessed with plastic trim removed.
9. This is smart Honda engineering. The third bolt is accessed through this hole.
10.
Here is the H&R lowering springs, fresh out of the box.
11. The separate shock and spring assembly makes changing the rear shocks relatively easy.
12. The rear is an easy slip on affair.
13. Take out the front shock assembly.
15. Oh be sure to tie the front arm with wire or else the axel will slip out of the transmission.
16. The top nut is held in place with nut wrench.
17. An Allen wrench is used to loosen and remove the retaining bolt.
18. The disassembled shock assembly.
19. Take note the position of the shock hat plastic trim, this has to go in the same way.
20. Don't loose the bottom rubber spring mount.
21. That also has to go in the same way it came out.
22. Slip in the H&R springs and put it back together again.
23. 1.5" lower and looks 100% better.
