I just installed a set of apexi ws coilovers, but I did it withtout directions becuase mine are in Japanese. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an English version sso I can double check that I did everything correctly.

You're going to have to take it into a decent suspension shop anyway to get a 4-wheel alignment, so just ask them to double-check the install while they have the car up.

Easy, did you bolt everything up? Are the springs seated properly? Did you adjust it to the desired height and make sure everything was tightened...that is really about it.

There was a site somewhere that converted the directions into English, but I believe it is down now...It was a site from a guy who had an SR powered S13 with WS's. I believe he lived in Washington state, although I'm not sure, if anyone has this link, please post it.

There is one little rubber (or urethane) piece he suggested not using, I can't remember exactly where, but it was above the spring...(not the bumpstop) sorry I can't be more specific.

Just one bit of advice, don't lower the car too much, the shocks don't like that, keep the drop moderate.

Hmm...got AAA? Tell them you knocked a wheel out of whack and need towed to the nearest suspension place - I've done it twice with my 240 already, they take it hook line and sinker.

Just learn japanese. You'll be able to read the instructions, and I'm sure it'll help with future japanese products that you'll purchase. :D

He has translated what he thought was most important points about the install. Its near the bottom of the page after you enter.
