the rear is easier then the front... whenever u get the coilover in your hand... the most basic things u want to do is to check for the top strut bolt , right in the middle.. tell a friend or somebody ( maybe your mom ) to hold the nut whille u're tighten it down as much as possible to prevent it from clunking noises that yoy may have later down the road. ( same goes with other three strut )

next up check for the spring and ring if it have any rock or anything in it. after that grease up the spring bucket and the spring ring where it goes on the spring bucket. with wd40 or anti rust...then u are all set...

Remove the upper spring collar in the rear on the spring adjuster , set the other full up , install , set shock short as possible to make sure it holds some preload on the spring .
