D2 coilover (or similar) installation guide

Hey guys, so I got my D2 coilovers in today and I was reading over the manual and it sucks, I was wondering if anyone had any good write ups with possibly pictures or videos. This is my first coilover install so all the help i can get will be much appreciated. Once this project is done I will post pictures in here!

This link helped me out a little.

Install is straightfoward, just unbolt the old and bolt in the coilovers. Once you have the wheels off and have a good look, it'll all come natural.

Also, buy the strut mount gaskets (or use the old ones), u'll end up with alot of clunking noises if you dont.

i have d2s what i did was obviously unbolt the three at the top of each strut for the front and the bottom two then the rear is 2 up top in the trunk and 1 on the bottom after u take out the old ones u can choose to use the gaskets but i didnt and i dont have any clunking at all for the measuring i measured the old strut/spring front and rear and then i measured the d2s the way they came in the box after that i kinda just went for it on how low it would sit im about at a 3 and half inch drop in the front and maybe 2 and half in the rear never really measured it

Thank you for the response, at least now I am not alone. Gonna install them saturday. with that low of a drop you dont scrape at all right? cause I really want to be as low as possible without scrapping or rubbing the tires when I'm turning.
