Bit off topic, But does anyone know a GOOD mechanic in the K-W area?? All you guys with FD's I figure someone does.
I would put the JIC's on myself,, but i dont have enough time with exams comign up.
SO, I need an install and proper alignment done.
Anyone got ideas??

Putting on the suspention your self is a breeze, save the labour costs and just pay for that alignment. Should only take you half a day (other half for beer) to swap them out, You can go to parts source and rent the spring compressor for free to get them off.
If your short on time get someone to give you a hand, i always like the satisfaction of knowing i do things myself., but if you cant......i dont know of any shops in KW hahaha wow i was a lot of help!

Yeah, I got most of it done, but the problem was I had to undro the upper A arm to get the shock body out, and I had no tools that I could use to properly reach behind the shockbody to do it, so I didnt wanna fiddle with it, exams are more important for now

Truth,
If I get it done, I think ill do it after exams, just because I gotta get this stuff down pact before they actually start, which means clocking close to 12 hrs a day

I guess you caught me on my way back. Thanks a lot for the compliments man! What were you in? I did not notice any 7's that day.
i was driving a plain-jane beige/champaigne Honda Accord. i'm not even sure what year it is, because it's my brother's car. i think it's like a 96 or 97.
you have a nice car.hahaha, from a distance in the rear view, i thought maybe your car was a gunmetal s13 240sx..not until you were practically right behind i looked again and thought, "oh shiet, it's a gunmetal FD."
my 7's dead..still in the long process of getting it back up and running.

It looks okay...ahem ahem.... but I wonder how it drives...
You're going to have to give me a couple of laps around the track... you know to prove yourself and all...

Funny, I compressed them fully and it didnt help for **** all.. not too sure why.
I assumed that the shock would compress with it and it woudl be a matter of just lifting it out :|
