Installed my Tein Springs

[Si02]

This is a very time consuming project. It took me about 5 hrs with a little break here and there. I did it at my friends garage with no air tools, needless to say I'm beat. My knuckles look like they've been in a UFC bout. I broke a tie rod boot or whatever its called. That really pisses me off since I was trying to save money by doing it myself. One question does it matter which way the rear shocks are put on? I remembered something about white marks facing the wheels so thats what I did. Now I read that the white marks were refering to the fronts. Did I goof up??? I was surprised that after installing springs and rear camber kit the car seemed to drive perfect. I was expecting to be wobbling down the road. Well I dropped it off at the Honda dealership for the alignment so hopefully everything goes well. Now on to the looks. I love it!!!! I think its the perfect drop. Can't wait to polish my baby up and post some pics. Can somebody tell me how to replace the boot that I broke? I even busted it with a tie rod seperator.... :eek:

OUCH! Sorry about your boot. Hope you like the new ride of the drop. I'm not sure about which way faces which. I was anal and marked all of my stuff with a whiteout pen before I disassembled it. I wish I could have told you to do that befoe now. I'll look at mine and see if there are any factory marks to help you out, because I am certain my stuff went back the way it came off.

In the rears there was a white dot on the rears but the dot was facing in and when I installed them I put the white dot points out towards the wheels. Do you know what that boot is called?

That's awesome man. Glad to hear your installation went pretty well. Hope to see some pics soon. You don't have a front Camber Kit do you? Only the rear?

Well I just got off the phone with the Honda dealership. They told me that I am going to need the front camber kit too.....:'(

I dont remember the rear shocks having a front or back side. And don't worry about the tie rod boot. I bought replacement ones from the dealer for about $1.50 a piece.
