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. Don't 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. |
14. We use a spring compressor to compress the
spring to loosen the shock. |
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. |
