This isn't essential, but putting copper grease on the coil would be a good idea

You need some NEW top mounts just incase your old ones fail. As lowering a car will put ALOT of strain on other suspention componants.

use the front coilovers how they came in the box, with nothing on the top thread the bearing just rests on and so does the upper rubber mount, then you screw the inner strut nut down- Fit the coilover to the car then the top hat goes on in the engine bay, and the final top lock nut
