My friend was helping me install the coilovers and we got confused on which rear coilover goes on the passenger and driver side. There is no indicator or documentation that tells you which side is which... The fronts were a little confusing as well, but we eventually figured it out by looking at the brake line brackets.

We got the rears on, but I think we got them mixed up. The rear rubber bushings have have a long and short end. I believe we put the long end facing the differential and the short end facing the outside. My friend put in the rears for, but it looked weird to me when I saw the washer on the long side of the bushing. Did we put it in backwards? I kinda ignored it initially, because he didn't have any trouble getting the rear coilovers in. They should go in one way right?

Damn it. It's suppose to be the other way around!!! Stance really needs to have better documentation on this.
