I recently purchased a set of coilover conversion springs and to my dismay they didnt include any instructions. I have contacted the seller to try to locate me some instructions but I doubt that I will get any. I am just curious if anybody has done this before and could elighten me a little before I begin. It looks pretty simple but there are a few parts that I dont know where they belong. I just wanna know what goes where before I start because I wont have a lot of time to install them because my shop is so busy right now.

Well the spring rate is WAY too high so the ride is terrible. It looks bad a$$ and handles ok on a smooth surface tho. I'll post some pics when I get back my digital camera. I will buy some different springs REAL soon too lol..........
