I have a 2006 EX-L and the rear has always been a bit saggy. I had an alignment done and had the adjustable arms installed and that helped quite a bit - not only to align the tires, but now the Pilot sits a bit taller in the back. The saggy look is gone.
I'd like to take it a step further and get airbags in the back coils. I've seen the kits from Air Lift and Firestone so I know what I want. The install "looks" reasonably easy. I think I could DIY, but before I order a kit and dive in, I was hoping I could solicit some opinions from some fellow Pilot owners.
Is doing it DIY worth my time over getting a mechanic to do it? I spoke to Les Schwab and they said it was an easy job and would only cost $300 or $400. I don't know what the warranty is, but I assume they stand behind their work and back up their product to some degree. What was your experience? What was your cost if you had the kit installed by a mechanic? Is the DIY as easy as the videos make it look?
