Coilover installation. Did I do it right?

[sticky240]

This was my first time installing suspension. I had all day so nothing was rushed.

Here is the stock strut/spring next to the coilover (KSport). I installed it witht he mounting bracket all the way down like that. Is that correct?

Here it is installed.

Here is the rear installed

Couple of questions.

Did I install the fronts correct? I mean, the mounting bracket that connects to the arm.

How do you adjust hight (yes, i know, stupid question, sorry) Do I just move the two bottom perches (below the spring) to the hight I want and then just lower the car?

Was I supposed to use anytihng from my old suspension? I noticed in the FAQ in the link to "How to install coilovers on an S13" he used the upper rubber mount for the rears on his Tein HA's. Is that for all coilovers or just those?

Thanks for all the help given.

Everything looks right to me. To lower the car just adjust the lower mount on the coilover body. i.e. move the mount that is attached to the lower spindle up on the body to lower the car.

On the upper mount that hold the spring up, I basically took the slack out and left it without any "preload" on it. It will probably take a few tries to get the height exactly where you want it and the spings may settle just a very little bit after driving.

Looks like you might be running positive camber in the front.

I am going to get it aligned Friday and hopfully everything turn out good
