Well my ground controls should come in sometime this week. I will hopefully get aound to installin them either this week or the 2 upcoming weekends. I didnt get struts or shocks. I know mine are going to wear out faster but i plan to get Konis later on. Yes i understand the advantage of doing both now but am not doing it like that (i understand the disadvantages as well-$$). For those of you who have these coilovers. I have heard you need to grind something down for them to work. Is this true? or am i getting it confused with replacing the rear struts with Konis. Is this as simple of an install as if I were simply getting springs? Also have any of you used a camber kit with yours? Let me know any good advice I may need during the install. I will be doing it with friends that have installed spings/struts/shocks/camber kits before so I wont be completly alone. I also just helped my friend put on a camber kit for a 96 integra as well so I now have a much better understanding of how the whole suspension setup works. All tips are welcome.

thanks

I was looking at mine today, do those zip ties even stay on or does the weight of the car cut them because the car would have all its weight on them if you leave em on when you install the suspension.

You know I put them on so that it would reduce the rattling that was coming from them. But at that time I couldn't pin point where exactly it was coming from. That's why I zip tied the aluminum hat down. I also did it to keep everything aligned when I lowered it.

But when I changed my oil last I believe the weight being applied onto the coils did cut one of the zipties off.
