The process of getting it the right height was relatively easy. Before you install coilovers, measure the distance from fenderwell to top of each tire while the car is off the ground. After you install the coilovers, measure it again and adjust coilovers up or down depending on how much you want to lower it. After you install coilovers, drive the car around for about 20 minutes and let the coils settle down. Measure all of the spaces and see if they match. Adjust accordingly.  _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to hawaiian5) Post #: 2
