Default Rear BC Help
I cannot figure out how to put the rear coilovers in and no matter where I look I can't find any pictures of them on a car either. Anyone have a picture or can help me otherwise?

is it the strut you are having problems with or the springs? if its the strut remove the top bolts from inside the well holding the sock struct keep the bolts you will need them. also you will need to remove your camber arm in order to get the springs in as well.once you have the bc strut in and the springs just put everything back together and you should be good. hope this helps a bit if not I'll help you more with detail

Nah I'm fine with the strut, it's just the spring part... Where do I put the perch that allows you to adjust the height? The bottom or the top of the spring?

One end of the spring should be ground flat. That side goes against the perch.
