Did you not notice the question posted doesnt make sense?
"hows is it to install coilovers on a 98 civic si??"

Are they just asking how hard is it to install? Who knows...but an unclear question usually doesnt get a straight answer.

How is boostd's post useless when urs doesnt even answer his question? "this post is useless IMO"

Now this is a useless post

kwikb16a2

well back on topic... its depends on how inclined you are to do it. It really isnt that hard, jus get a good manual and you should be fine

btw what cee_mon said was my mindset... stupid question gets stupid answer...

are they pre-assembled? Or do u have to use parts from the old shocks? If you have to use parts from the old shocks you are going to most likely need a spring compressor. I am pretty sure you can rent one from crappy tire.

Hey 1998civicsi, I did my suspension install a few weeks ago. That thread by loudsubz helped a lot. I didn't need a spring compressor either. I'm not saying don't get one, just that it can be done without one. This link may also help you.

I have other diy info saved on file so if you want them I can send them over email. I don't have the links anymore... just Word files. I'm in the process of writing up how I did my 98 install but I'm not sure if I will be done before you start.

1998civicsi

thanks alot guys for the help///not sure what you mean ZEEMAN..
um......they are just coilovers its has a few gold plated things on the ends so i dont know if that is still in need of compression or not!

cee_mon

If you paid under 200 bucks for them, they are just sleeves and not a full coil-over system. If you are currently running on stock springs than YES you will need a compressor.

its not hard i did mine in my drive way. took 2 hours. without power tools

imported_PRoCiVic

but i didn't have stock springs for that you will need spring compressors, you can get them to rent for free at canadian Tire.

with a little deposit.
