i just picked up some coilovers and am planning on installing them this weekend. i was just wondering if anything needs to be torqued or if it all just goes on tight?

Thanks guys. I only want to drop about 2" at most. But I may go all the way down just to see how it looks and to take some pics.

crank them bad boys down. and when you realize thats not low enough take them back off and take the adjusting rings off the coilovers so you might be low enough

or go gasnsta and just run the spring w/o the sleeve
i had to do that with my old drum brakes, they were teaked and the car wouldnt lvl out on one side so i only ran the spring
