I ordered ground control coilovers and got them today... heres the problem i have no idea how to install them. They came with no instructions. I have done lowering springs on my 4th gen and on other cars but never coilovers.

Can someone point me to instructions i searched and all i found was people arguing over to get them or not to get them.

Thanks for the help.

haha Thankyou!! Ive been up since 2 this morning not thinking to clearly

 

lol i read that one all ready there was not really to much info on installation.

I dont really have a clue where to start with this. anymore info on this

thanks

 

well, the link that was post was for real coilovers, and thats not what GCs are. what did you pay for them? reusing the stock struts? its not a difficult install, you need to break down your current strut/spring setup and pretty much drop the GC threaded collors on the struts, reuse your strut mounts and put them back on. GC allow you to drop the car, but you lose travel, which is why real coilovers are better, as you can slam the **** out of your car and still have the same travel. if you can, and have the $$, return them and get some k-sports or something..

oh, and i dont know how diff the max is vs my 92 ser, but the threaded pearch didnt fit over the strut body, so duct tape and silcone was used to make it tight so they didnt squeak.

check this link, might help a little..

cool thanks for the info I paid 50bucks for them used. im using kyb struts.
some people say they are ok to use and others think they are crap so i thought 50 bucks to try them out why not?

again thanks for the help.
