Follow the directions that came with your shocks for the bumpstops. I cut about a 1/4 off mine, for your reference.

As for the install, one problem you may encounter is a siezed bolt where the shock bolts to the LCA in the rear. I don't know about preludes, but on civics and integras that bolt is notorious. Some people have no trouble at all, but some have to burn or cut them out. I avoided the whole issue by buying new LCA's and bolts.

i was just looking at the shocks and springs and i noticed that with the rear when i put the spring on the shock the right way the spring is kinda sloppy on the shock but if i turn it upside down it fits perfect? kinda strange i think
