Default Quick coilover install question!

Hey guys, I'm going to be installing my brothers old GC coilover set onto my hatchback tomorrow. Which way are these sleeves supposed to go? I have 2 long sleeves and 2 short ones. The long sleeves have an unthreaded portion and the short oness are fully threaded and have a lip on the inside. Which goes in the front and which are in the back? Whats with that inside lip thing?

also, just to clarify, the thicker springs go up front.... right? Thanks!

When I had a 98 Civic I posted a "How-To", but only did the front for the site.

You'll see what the inner lip is for on the coilovers in one of the pics.

Hopefully, the pics I have will help you out because that was 3+ years ago when I did that install. If not, you could always give Ground Control a call

Good luck!

longer sleeves in the rear so it can be seated in the shocks.
