    What do I need to assemble the Aftermarket Shocks and springs?

    I bought the car with coilovers already installed. and I am planning to change the set up to shocks and springs.

    I know that in order to put the shocks and springs together. I need some stock parts from the oem suspension. But I don't know what parts are need.

    Could you guys fill in the blanks for me please? thanks in advance.

    It depends on the coil-overs. Some use many stock honda parts, some use less. If you go back to stock(Like I did) you probably need at least the bumpstops if they were cut. Possibly tophat's, spring isolaters, new plastic bearings. And I always like new nuts and bolts.

    Do yourself a favor, start hitting the rear shock bolt with PB Blaster/liquid wrench/WD40 now. Spray it every day for 2 weeks before you swap.

    If your not sure on which coilovers they are, jack up the car, take off the wheel and take a picture. I'm sure someone else on here has them.

    Stock struts are gonna cost you as much as a set of Tokico Blues..

    Even with blues you still need springs and upper pillow mount assembly.

    look up Majestic honda for a full strut part list to order all the small parts for the assembly.

    on the front, you need:

    http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...SHOCK+ABSORBER

    parts: 2, 7, 9, 10/11, 14 and might as well replace part 12 while youre at it

    On the back:

    http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...SHOCK+ABSORBER

    Parts 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and again might as well 16

    Bumpstops are actually part of the rebound characteristics of the damper, so you should consider what you are looking for in the bumpstop and get an aftermarket set that works for your needs. Ground Control makes some nice bumpstops for various applications.
