The rear should be quite easy, assuming you can get the LCA bolts off the old shocks. The Neuspeed Race springs shouldn't have much, if any tension on them when you install the upper spring mount, so it's easy to put together. The rear spring perch should face up like a cup or glass normally sits. Did you get the front spring perch on right? It should face down like _/---------\_

As far as the settings, you just need to drive around on various settings and see which one you like. For daily driving, you should use the most comfortable setting, not the setting that nets the best lap times on a track, because obviously you're not on a track, you're just going point A to point B.

well patrick, i got the front on right i had to fix it because i had it upside down at first but now the front shocks are in right, it was a lot of hassle but its better to get it done right, as for the rears is perch suppose to sit the same way as the fronts, you mean soft for daily driviing correct

just look at how the perches are on the stock shocks, for the rear they should be like:

My ride height in the front of my car has always been a little high. So for the hell of it I checked my fronts today and the damn perches are upside down!!! When I bought my car NEW they had all Comptech stuff on it and I assumed that the Cooters that work at this particular dealership were competent. So now I will get about 3/4" more drop. Should I make them switch them ?
