Step 1
Remove the factory Strut and spring Assembly:
Jack Car up on both sides, ( this is very important if you donŐt all the front sway bars will give you a hard time when installing the coilovers.
A: Remove the ground wire, break line and bracket attached to the strut. Save the brackets and the bolts as you will need them later.
B: Remove the 2 large nuts Holding the strut to the Knuckle, These are the 2 nuts on the bottom of the strut assembly by the rotor.
C: Remove the 4 nuts at the top of the strut assembly. These are the ones you access in the engine bay.
D: Carefully slide factory strut out making sure no damage is done to the Axel boot.
" For the rear repeat the same steps, Except 1st remove the brake Caliper and sway bar end links"
Step 2
Disassembly of the Factory Strut
A: Install a spring compressor to keep the spring from flying away. ( we have also done it with out)
B: Slide the rubber boot inside the spring down till you see the shiny strut rod.
C: Use a set of vice grips to clamp down the shiny rod. This allows you to keep the strut from spinning when you are removing the nut on the top hat.
D: Using a breaker bar and a socket , Remove the Top Nut On the Top Hat Assembly.
Front: You will now have the bearing Plate and the top hat assembly these are the only 2 items you will need for the rest of the install.
Rear : You will need the top hat assembly, put the rest away.
Step 3:
Assembly of The Ipp Coilovers
A: Carefully Remove the bearing From The bearing plate. To do this you can use a small tip flat head screw driver and carefully chizzle the bearing out by tapping the screw driver in different areas. Make sure you get underneath the bearing and do not rush this step. The bearing consists of 2 pieces and you have to make sure it is removed in 1 entire piece.

B: Put the bearing on top of the ipp Bearing plate with the metal part Facing Down.

C: Slide the top Hat assembly on top of the bearing
D: on the top hat you will see the coilover tip with threads sticking out, install the washer and locking nut and tighten till its tight.

For the rear
A: Install the top hat on top of the coilover

B: Install The Thick bushing /Spacer included with the kit

C: Install Washer and locking nut and tighten.
Step 4:
Installing the Ipp Coilovers.
A: Loosen the bottom locking nut on the ipp coilovers, and spin the bottom base to make the coilover assembly shorter. ( This makes install easier)
Slide the coilover in its spot and tighten the 4 nuts on top in the engine bay.
C: Now Thread the bottom base of the coilovers back to make the strut longer and get you closer to where it needs to be bolted down.

D: Pry up on the stock Rotor assembly till you are able to slide the bolts through and tighten.
E: Now take the bake line brackets and bolt that you saved from the stock set up and screw it on the coilover housing where the little holes are in, and also screw down the ground.


For the rears Repeat the same step except once done install brake Caliper and sway bar.
Step:5
Adjusting the Height
Grab a tape measurer and measure from the center of the hob on the rotor to the fender to make sure both sides of the car are even. And follow the illustration on how to set the height of the car to the height you desire.

MAKE SURE THE LOWER LOCKING NUT IS TIGHT AFTER MAKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
Once install is completed make sure all bolts and nuts are tight, and pump brake pedal.
