Do you want instructions on how to install the coilovers, or how to lower the car once they're already installed?

take a picture of your coils as they sit on your car and I'll tell you what you need to do.

So the two upper lock rings for the spring perch are up against the lower lock ring like this?


If so, then you'll need to spin the lower mount off and remove the lower lock ring so that the two rings that make up the spring perch are directly against the lower mount.

Otherwise you're as low as you'll go. Time to regret your coilover purchase and start saving for airbags, brah.
