I need coilover installation help.
Hi everyone, my name is Dustin and I am new here. I look forward to posting alot.
I recently bought some goldline coilovers (springs only, no shocks) from a friend for $60. I figured I was getting a deal and she didn't need them. Are these good springs?
I am not sure how to install them. I am also not sure how to drop my car and how much to drop it. Will installing these lower my car? It is adjustable? I am pretty good at installations if I have a little direction. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated!

so what kind of car do you have?
for coilovers you would need some performance struts or aftermarket so that it can support the drop. Yes, coilovers are ajustable, im not really sure how you adjust those, most other ones have keys. Im pretty sure you wont need spring compressors.
As for the brand goldline, i have never heard of them and at that price it might not be the best bang for your buck. i installed my strut and springs into my accord and it took me about 9 hrs mostly by myself using hand tools. if you can get a DIY guide like me, then you should memorize the instructions like me.

I have a 97 Honda Accord. These coilovers are made specifically for my car. I have been told that I need a camber kit to prevent tire wear. Also, someone said that I can install them with my stock shocks, but the ride would be really bumpy. Thanks for the information you gave me. I appreciate it.
