First time installing coilovers. is this correct?
Ok dont bash too bad on me. This is my first time installing coilovers and i just wanna make sure i got it right if this doesnt sound right lemme know the proper way to do it. sorry for being a newb. never been really big on suspension til now.
Step 1. take the top ring and compress the spring as much as you can with the wrench.

Step 2. take the 2nd ring and lock the spring in place.

Step 3. take the 3rd ring and adjust it to the height that you want. then install the mount.

I have the Omni's which are similar.
You're supposed to loosen the the top shock mount (the 19mm nut on top of the shock) and then compress the spring by the ring under the spring as much as you can. Then the tighten the ring under that to secure the larger one. After that tighten the 19mm on the top put on the lower collars and you're set. I hope I make sense here, I haven't slept in 22hrs.

aight good deal. basically thats just preloading the spring. but according to ksport they come preloaded already. But ill still do the 19mm just for reasurrance.

Looks good to me. The only thing that i did differently was i preloaded the spring when it was already on the car. I have omni's though, so i'm sure the directions differ slightly.
