Second this. For me this was the most frustrating part of coilover install.
My 2 cents:
1. Check every bolt and locking collars on your new suspension that it's torqued to manufacturer recommended specs before install (especially camber plates if your suspension came with ones).
2. Get ready to get frustrated with front end links. They're known for getting seized and being PITA to remove. Impact wrench does wonders when allen key/wrench combo fails.
