Also make sure you torque your lower control arm bolts when the car is actually on the ground and not raised.

Follow the DIY guide in the DIY section for a coilover/spring install. It will help drastically if this is your first time, and give yourself a good amount of time to do this as well.
i had that one saved thanks
