when you took your old suspention off did you see a set of rubber blocks screwed into the top of the set.

you need to put them on the coilovers

a set of spring compressors and a 17mm offset spanner will do you.

once you have them off wind the coilovers to the lowest setting then put the first nut on ( off your old sus) then slip the brushes on over that put seccond nut on ( ensure you put the bearings back in the bottom of the brushers in between the metal top plate on the coilovers and the brush)

then fit now you will need to lign them up and put the nut on the top hand tight do the bottom nuts up and lower the car makeing sure there in the right place then do the top nuts up

the rears have the brushes aswell they will creak if you dont fit them, trust me when i say dont drive a car with no brushes in or worn out brushes,. its scary and does nothing for the treadware on your tyres.
