Front 1. Rear 5. If you would like to lower the ride height, you can turn the whole assembly and thread the shock body into the lower mounting cup. Drive around the car the block again to see if you are satisfied with the desired ride height. Here are pictures of the stance of the car set up as described above. As illustrated, I personally like the front just slightly higher for weight balancing and overall handling performance however you can get a more aggressive and even look by lowering the front just a bit.
Helper springs should only be used for achieving extremely low ride heights. If using the Helper spring:. If the ride quality seems too bumpy, it could be due to not enough strut piston travel and the top mount hitting the bump stops causing a slight pogo-ing effect.
The helper spring compresses completely once the weight of the car is on it and the strut shaft compresses into the shock body approximately 1 - 1. There are a couple of ways to remedy this:. You can cut the bump stops effectively increasing the strut shaft compression stroke, i. The bump stops are approximately Maximum, you can cut them down all the way to one notch. If the helper spring is installed, compress the helper spring almost completely down to about an inch of height just the helper spring length on the coil over assembly by moving the main spring up on the strut shaft.
This will decrease the amount of strut shaft compression when the car's weight is initially placed on the ground. Effectively moving the starting point of compression higher at rest and also increasing suspension travel with an un-cut bump stop. This is effectively removing the action of the helper spring from the system. You will need to remove the coilovers from the car and use a 17mm socket and impact gun to remove the top mount.
Once the top mounts are removed, the helper spring and its spacer between the main spring can be removed from the top. Reassemble and tighten with impact gun. Spring rates are 8kg front and 6kg rear, so they will be very stiff for daily use, especially with pb mounts. That rules out megan, bc's, teins, and even ohlins. If you want to go pretty low, make sure you get a stiff spring rate on your coilovers.

Once the top mount and coilover have been fitted onto the strut tower, make sure that the slots on the coilover are parallel to the firewall look at the image below.
Grab the 12 mm screws and screw them back onto the coilover and make sure that the coilover has a flush fitting and is tightly installed on the car. After the top mount install is finished, continue onto the bottom half of the install, grab your ratchet with your 19mm socket as well as your 19mm wrench to screw on the 19mm screw and bolt to tightly secure the lower mount onto the car.
Once the top mount is securely screwed on, make sure to securely clamp on the brake line with the OEM bolts. Once finished with installing the coilover, make sure all coilovers are set to the same height, and if not, make sure that both the front driver-side coilover and front passenger-side coilover are set to the same height, and the rear driver-side coilover and rear passenger-side coilover are the same height, so it can ride smoothly and efficiently.
When you are done with the height, place the wheels back onto the car and lower it down back onto the ground. Grab a tape measure and measure the height of all the wheels to assure once again that the car is at the correct height.
Before taking the car on a test drive, make sure to check your surroundings for any spare parts. Also, try and move the car around to make sure that the coilovers are installed properly and not loose. If you desire to do any type of camber adjustment, please seek help for professional adjustment, as an incorrectly adjusted camber can damage suspension and compromise the driveability of the car.
