I already added mine, coilovers only install one way. He's already installed them. It's kinda hard to screw up a coilover install. I think he's more worried about his ride height settings.

Instead of trying to start an argument with me, why don't YOU add something to help the guy?

Oh...umm...yea - http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/New_suspension_2/m_102774/tm.htm

BlkCurrantKord's photo gallery 		How big of a gap? If you're slammed and there's a gap then its probably like 2-3 inches. Try backing off (extending or making the shock taller) like an inch and see how that looks.

j_man_honda's photo gallery 		IDK man, mine dont have that much gap... Is it just the back or the front and back? Are you sure you ordered the right coilovers for the right model car?

So the line is where you had i in the first pic??? And where you have it now is the height you want the car? Before you put them on you didnt turn the threaded part to the right(up into where the spring sits) a bunch of times did ya?
