[ Watch the video I made showcasing my coil-over set up on YouTube ]

Above is quick overview of the process. Below is a step-by-step guide on what I did:

1. The stock springs sit on top of a very large perch.

2. When removed, each spring is a very wide and short (when compressed).

3. This is the stock macpherson strut, without spring.

4. Coil-overs can be used to re-adjust ride-height without the need to change springs.

5. Initially, I placed the coil-overs on top of the stock struts, but that only gave me 1 inch of wheel travel.

6. This was due to the fact that the spring-perch sits on top of the wheel.

7. My cousin and I began to remove the spring perch, in order to lower where the coil-over sits.

8. The stock strut, minus the perch.

9. With it removed, the coil-over sits dramatically lower.

10. Luckily they make 2.5 inch diameter springs, which just barely clear my 18x7.5 inch rims.

11. Here is a better view.

12. This is what the vehicle looked like when lowered over 5 inches in front, on stock wheels.

13. After some time, I decided to change my original pair of coil-over springs, for a softer & taller pair.

14. The finished product.

15. With the coil-overs installed, I was able to maintain a softer/smoother ride, 5.45 inches below the stock ride height, all without much sacrificing wheel travel.
