Ok, dude, let me ask you a couple of questions, You know what your spring and strut assembly is? If you do then you know what all components are involved in it, right?(strut,spring). Well, I know that once you lift your car and take a tire off, you will notice how to remove it, After you do that take the assembly to a tire shop or a place where they do struts, and they will remove the old spring and install the lowering spring back on the strut. After that all you need to do is go back to the car and install the spring/strut assembly back on your car. and you are done. The shops usually charge life 5 to 10 dollars a strut to remove the old spring and install a new one. Do no try it at home, if you try taking the spring off the strut, it is under tension and when you loosen it it will shoot out and hurt you. You can also rent a spring compressor so you can loosen the strut and remove the spring, but that costs more money and I think taking them to a shop is easier. So if you know how to remove your strut assembly from your car then you are set. Other wise, I don't know of any site that has step by step instructions. Just give it a try, its easy. Lates.

Hey , thanks for the info ...... peace
OR you could just buy a set of ajustable coil-over shocks... then you can control your hieght and sometimes your ride (depending on the coil-over) Little more pricey though look to spend no more than $2000 for a set of four. (Best bet around $1000-1400)
Lowering Accord
Ok ok .... I have a 95 accord and I also have 17" rims and Yokohama Racing rubber... I also put in my own suspension for excellent control but if you put it on yourself you are increasing your chances to pay even more. the slightest off balance will just fuck up everything and I asure you it will cost alot more then 1000$ so take your time with it raised for now because I found it annoying getting used to my really low bodykit with my car being lowered but I will admit it looks great.bluecoupe said:what`s up everyone,,, i have a 2001 4cyl accord coupe sitting on chrome 18 inch kmc`s wrapped with 215/40/18 yokohama`s ( i should have gotten 235`s but i have to learn the hard way by getting advise after i spend the money) they came with 215/35/18`s when i ordered them,, i did`nt like how small they were so i had to spend more money on those yoko`s,,,, stupid me,,, but anyway,,, but anyway i am trying to close that gap between my tire and fender,,, i went a shop this weekend and dude was like 1 and half inch drop would put me just right,, and parts and labor would be $530 and add shocks would be $1000 including labor,,, i am coming to cali from hampton va so these prices sound good to me,,, what do you all think,,, and does anyone know of any reference books or web sites that tell you step by step how to install 1 and half inch springs and shocks,,,if so i would love to know so i can save money and do it myself and last but not least how do you post picks by using a digital camera i would love to post my ride on here,,,,,,
