Coilover install

[AI-Hatch]

I was wondering if anyone where i can find a step-by-step guide to installing some coilovers on a 92' Civic Hatch. I kinda know how to do it but i wanna see a step-by-step on it or a how-to guide. Thanx

Thanx man thats really gonna help.....I only got one more question.....i got adjustable 0-4" coilovers. Now how do you measure how low you have gone with the coilover?

suspension install is cake for the most part, just be careful with the bolts in the rear - they tend to get rusted in place, and break easily if you try to force them out (search for rear suspension install - there's a couple threads here about it)

I recommend installing the coils at their highest position, then setting the car down to find out how much you want to go down from there. Then jack it back up and adjust the coils accordingly.
