Need a little advice on coilover install
I was installing my intercooler and I took my strut tower off with the wheels off the ground. Both wheels fell down and out with the coilovers. They seem like a pain to get back and lined up to go back through the slots for the bolts. I tried taking a wheel off and using a jack.
Any suggestions to make this easier? Thanks in advance.

The less weight on the hub the easier it will be, and using a jack will make it easier still. The easiest way will be with a helper, one person to feed it from underneath and one person above to get the nuts started.

Take the tire off, unbolt coilovers from the hub, bolt plates back to the strut tower, reattach the hub to the coilover, put the tire back on. It would take less time to just reinstall it like you normally would instead of messing around trying to save yourself from unbolting two bolts.

^^ You'll want an alignment if you pull those bolts, just something else to keep in mind.
