Help!

I've been looking around in the internet for an illustrated instruction for a coilover install. Does anybody here have a source to that? or can somebody tell me how to do so. I've installed lowering springs before but not coilovers. I've seen people cut the "thing" on the strut so the threaded sleeve on the coilover could fit on the strut. Is that necessary for our cars?

Also would 4g lude suspension components interchangeable with 5g ludes and the 94-97 Accords? I just need the info so I have better choices in e-bay when looking for parts

.

Any help is appreciated.

Peace!

installing coilovers and springs actually isnt much different. I'm not sure what you're asking about the cutting "thing". check out the NTPOG website for a write-up.

and yes coilover sleeves should be the same for preludes 92-up. The shocks for 5th gen and 4th gen are the same in the rear. The front is a little different but are interchangable. The 4th gen has a little bracket for brake lines and the 5th gen dont. I think accord applications should fit too b/c they have similiar setups. (i'm not 100% sure that ALL accord suspension parts will fit though)

I check out that web site and the technical section is down or something, anyone else have an install on their site for coilovers?
