Default Coil over installation tutorial

i just purchased a 98dx hatch and it came with coil overs, but they're not installed. i'm currently riding on steels, but have 16's to put on in the spring when the salt/snow is gone. i was wondering if anyone knows a good tutorial on the installation of these things. i've never done anything with suspension before so.. pretty much need a step by step. i tried searching on this forum but came up empty. any info would be awesome.

thanks

Give me 5 minutes to find the write-up I did and I'll post a link.

Also, do you happen to know the offset of your 16's and the tire size? If you have the wrong sized tires or too low/high of an offset, you'll probably be facing rubbing issues when you lower, depending on how low you go.

*edit: found it... 30 seconds of searching... I don't think you tried that hard lol
