I'm installing some new Coilovers

[STitch626!!!!!]

I drive a 1998 Honda Civic LX Sedan. Im installing some new coilovers, but I'm a little inexperienced. A little help on the Do's and Dont's Please. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

when commpressing the stock springs dont let it pop out and hit you it could kill

 

[STitch626!!!!!]

Just the stock springs? or do i need to compress the coilover spring as well?

 

[AHHVTEC]

are they real coilovers or the kind that go over your stock shooks

considering most real ones come assembled, i'm guessin ebay special style.
in that case, no... they are like 9 inches to short for that to happen.

What's 9 inches to short? again, im a little experienced and havent had much of a chance to get down into the wheel wells to see whats goin on there.

yes

sleeve-style coilovers are litterally 9" shorter than a real/oem coil. due to the metal adjuster.
