About to install springs

Hey guys,

My springs just came in, I just need to drive to the border to pick em up. Question before the install though. I've read coil overs require "pre-loading" while the car is jacked up. BC Racing put up a youtube video showing the rear pre-load so I got that covered. Does the front wheels require pre-loading as well? If so, how to do?

This is on a 2015 ILX with Eibach Pro springs. I read this spring is less of a drop than H&R so I went with them instead. Any install tips are greatly appreciated as I'm a mechanic noob!

Thanks!

springs are not adjustable, so there is no way to pre-load them.

all you have to do is disassemble stock spring set..
then assemble new spring set on stock shocks.

As Justnspace mentioned, your springs won't have adjustable damping like coilovers.
