Hi all! I'm new into working on my own car and was thinking about purchasing a ground control coil sleeve (since I cannot afford a full coilover set up). I'm planning on installing them to my 92 hatch dx. Currently my car have a tokico blue shocks and eibach springs but they are sitting too high. Im not planning on slamming my car too the ground but I just want it to be a little lower. I am gonna be using the tokico shocks with the ground control sleeve (i'm not sure if I am making sense) Please help.

Can someone please explain or maybe direct me to a DIY coilover sleeve install?(pic would be great) How hard is it and is there anything I need to consider before installing. Thanks again in advace.

p.s. I did search but did not find a DIY on a coilover sleeve. All help are much appreciated. Thanks! :(

Well I have done sleeves on a 93ish accord and it was not hard at all, If you want my girlfriend (Heatherly) has a set of Megan sleeves and I am going to be installing them on her car as soon as I can or when it is a little warmer out I can just do a HOW TO, but if you have done lowering springs before then it will be not that big of deal. The biggest pain is to get them all adjusted correctly.
