Go to prohopper.com and they have a diagram on how to install hydro's in honda struts.They also sell everything you need to do it.In my opinion,for what little it's worth,hydro's are they only way to go on a FWD car.

I had air on my accord and laid pan... I loved my cylinders but just like anything, it all depends on the install. Anything can ride like ass if installed incorrectly. If you aren't familiar with dro's then that might not be the way to go for you as in maintaining them.

Thanks but iam a do-it-yourselfer ain't got 3000 to have somebody else do it,they did my buddy gene's prelude and gene told me that the valves/lines kept feeding air to the front cylinders,he took them off now,i think he had a valve sticking or something
