Default S-Tech install , Any tips?

My springs finally came today and me and my neighbor with a turbo GSR are installing them tommoroww. I don't have any expierience with springs but he iinstalled some on his Integra and other people's Integra's.
So do you guys have any tips or any tricks to make the install easier?
There was no how to for srings in the How-to section. Just IPP coilovers.

Thanks, Josh

You will need spring compressors..

Don't cut the bumpstops...

You will need new rear endlinks.. Autozone carries new ones..

Pretty straight forward fronts have 3 bolts on the tophat and two on the strut assembly. Also one 10mm for the abs cable...

Rear has 3 also for the top hat and two for the strut assembly. for the rears I usually take off the caliper to get to the two bolts.. May or may not be needed..

Let me know if you run into any snags..

Alright thanks Dave. Could you PM you number so I could give you a call tommoroww if I run into any problems? I already installed the endlinks and got a spring compressor. Also how long does this job usually take?

Thanks, Josh

I got them installed finally. Thanks to Dave , I used that spark plug wrench trick, worked awsome. Thanks for the help. Sorry to take so long to reply back. Been busy taking care of my mom. She just had surgery and just got back from the hospital a couple days ago. She's stuck in bed for 4 weeks.

The car looks so much better now and handles 10x better. The ride is pretty rough at times though. But I'm willing to make that sacrafice.
