Changed an accord stock to coil overs, needed a spring compressor get a good one that wont slip, jack, jack stands, tools. Nothing special. your coil overs do have shock/struts

we were able to get a set for the 90 accord off ebay, tokiko's for 220.00 took us about 6 hrs to change all 4.the first time. The ride is rough, very difficult to go over speed bumps, and steep drive ways, cannot put on certain types of body kits, so low cannot put a low jack under the car, had to roll it up on a 2X6 to get a jack under it. Also beaware a tow truck will not tow you if your to low. We did have 15in X 8 nice rims and tires that just about touched the fender, no heavy riders in back. if you hit a good ditch/dip, your back seat passengers will hit their head on the ceiling. like riding a go-kart
