I'm just curious, did anyone had any problems on installing their springs especilly for the 5th gen civics. I went to speedtech today and they told me that sometimes the bushings on the springs are bad and that if it is then the whole thing would cause me around $240 labour and installion which i think is a little to much

I had problems when I installed my coilovers in my EG. The rear bolt was seized to the metal shaft in the bushing. I broke one of the bolt's and this caused a problem. I had to replace both rear bushing's plus the bolts. It cost's $30 a bushing plus $6 a bolt, It should cost you $72 for parts plus labor. It is worth the money to have someone else do the work if you don't have the proper tools.

Just my $0.02

It's a common thing for the lower shock bushing to seize - esspecially on an older car. It's also a lot of work to replace it, because it requires a new bushing to be pressed into the control arm.

Labour and parts sound about right.

Cost me some extra coin at speedtech when they installed my struts, everything was pretty much siezed up but I knew that already due to my previous spring install by someone else.

i dunno...heard some horror stories from speedtech. i figure it's a good place to buy stuff (good prices) but i'd take it somewhere else to have it installed.
