Suspension is one of the most easiest jobs to do on these carrs providing you have the right tools which would consist of an impact gun, 17mm impact socket, 17mm open/closed end wrench, 10mm and 12mm socket. Also can't forget the jack and jack stands I've done a few suspensions for some members here on the boards.

I've done most of my modding (nitrous, Tein coilovers, EDFC, headlamps, tailights, intake, sways endlinks, brakes etc) all in my backyard. There aren't many shops left around for the tuners.

I definitely agree that you can do all this stuff yourself, but for those who just don't have the time to spare...I do have a mechanic in Watertown that is very honest and will give you a good rate.

Pepsi if you want send me a PM and we can set up a date and I will help you with the install. It's pretty straight foward for the install.

Especially since he has coilovers and not just installing springs. Damn that spring compressor!

Never installed camber kit on a G, but I did the rears for my TSX and it wasn't bad. Gotta get an alignment afterwards though.

^Yeah that was the funniest night of the Summer for us....LMFAO. The camber kit is simple but like Virtual said once it's on you have to get a wheel alignment.
