Honda Civic Si Sedan Rubber Hat
You can now pry the rear spring out. Take the upper and lower hats and put `em on the new HFP spring and maneuver the new spring back into place. You'll notice three nubs on the bottom spring perch. Line these up with the holes in the base. These nubs won't go into the holes at first, but they will fall into place as you go about reassembling the suspension.

Now go and reinstall the rear shock. You'll need an allen wrench to keep the top 14mm bolt in place as you tighten it. The bottom 14mm bolt can be tightened normally. Now go and repeat all these steps for the right side, put your cowl and rear trunk carpeting back in place and sit back and enjoy your lower, better-handling Civic.

Honda Civic Si Sedan Removing Hoses
Fujita recommends disconnecting and removing the battery first. We didn't `cause we're gangster like that. From there, loosen the clamps on the intake tube, disconnect the hoses and unplug the harness from the mass airflow sensor. You'll now be able to remove the intake tube from the car.

Get underneath the car to wrestle the air inlet tube out of the car. Or you could follow Fujita's instructions and remove the battery. Apparently this tube is pretty easy to remove if the battery is out of the way.

Plug the harness onto the MAF sensor. Reconnect your battery if you did this install the right way. Voila! You're done! This is what everything should look like after all is said and done. Now enjoy the "whoosh" sound your car makes every time you step on the throttle.
