Need Help Asap With D2 Install!!!

Well i buddy of mine got a set of used d2's and we're wondering how do you go about installing the rear assemblies. What parts are we suppose to reuse in the install. If anyone has pics of this that would be greatly appreciated. We tried used the oem rear shock seats and when we intalled the set up the car bounced up like crazy also are we suppose to adjust the height of it by moveing the spring up by moveing the spring seats up or by loosening the bottom of the assembly. Thanks for the help in advance.

But to answer your questions:

1. You need to use the D2 upper mounts. If you don't have them you gotta order them and they can be ordered separately from a dealer. The only dealer I know is in North Carolina, here is the contact info.

D2 Racing Sports North America
2300 Englert Dr Ste C1
Durham, NC 27713
Phone: 919-544-4171
Fax: 919-544-4041

2. As for the height adjustment you need to compress the spring first, or pre-load it. That adjustment should not be touched after pre-loading. You adjust the height by moving the lowest portion of the coilover and seating it in place with the lower nut on the rear, or with the allen bolts on the fronts.
