Default installing coilovers on Honda civic

My son bought some coilover off e-bay. The coilover came with no how to install paper work. I know how to take the car apart. I just need to know how the coilovers go together. I do not know the brand name?

Thanks!
Pirk

off ebay?

Here's the instructions:
THROW IN TRASH!

You are gonna end up with more problems with that crap than if your son spent a little extra money for a quality product. Suspension is not something you wanna get the no name shit for. No offense or anything, but those are garbage. remember, you get what you paid for. save up and buy some decent omnipower/skunk2/tein/koni setup.

i have those ebay coilovers on my eg coupe, they're good at first then after u drive them for a short period of time, they're straight garbage! They're bouncy the mess up the rest of your suspension and if your lower to muck n u hit a pot hole, not only will u bottom out, but u will bounce for about a block lol no lie!!!!
if you have the money i would go with tein, full suspension setup, or skunk2 for a reasonable price

get some ground control coilovers, and koni or tokico struts

you dont wanna have ebay or brand x parts in/on your suspension [period] NO install instructions would mean to me, not meant to be installed, if you really wanna install garbage pm me and ill send you instructions
