I have a 92 honda accord and it has really low springs on it. I want to put stock springs back on. I honestly don't know what to do to change springs and don't have the patience to work on cars right now. If I brang in the springs, how much would it cost roughly to get them to put the stock springs back on??? Or how many hours I guess seems more reasonable?

Probably about $60/corner would be approximately what a shop would charge

its pretty easy for u to do it your self probaly 3 hours at most
i am noobie witht that stuff i can do front in under 1.5 hours

you don't have paientce? save your self some money
60 x 4 = 240$.... or 0$ if u put in the work

If the springs have been on for a while, you might have some seized bolts. Those rear LCA's almost always seize up.

If you're trying to fight seized bolts, it'll take you a long time. Plus it's a pretty big job - you have to take the strut/spring assembly apart for each corner. I know of places that can do it for around $200. PM me if you can't find a place to do it for around that much.

your probably looking at like 300-350 with alignment

I forgot about an alignment. Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'm going to still get someone to do the work and not myself, I only get a few days off of work every couple weeks and I really don't want to be doing work on my car when I want to relax. Thanks again

My cars alignment was not affected when I changed the springs/shocks. I had it checked anyway but it was fine

^^^^That is actually suprising considering you got yours lowered (assuming) b/c the camber usually goes way out depending on how much you've lowered it. Thanks for all the PM's and advice, appreciate it. And if any backyard Honda guru's want to make a little cash on the weekend let me know
