Default Anyone have coils in their xB?

Guys,

I just got some coils (TEIN Basics) for my bB. I haven't had a chance to pull them out and take a look nor have I looked at my xB's suspension much (I just got the car) but I was wondering if there is anything special I should know when installing the coils?

I have done coil installs on many WRX/STi's and had little problem but I know the rear suspension of the xB is not "typical". So if there is any tricks or things I need to know that would be great thanks...

the rears are easier than the front to install. you dont even need to take off the rims/wheels to install them... thats if you have access to a lift.

I have the HKS C-Compacts

the best for the $ is tein basics. unless you want adj. dampers then go w/ jic. the jic are about the same price as tein ss's but have the upper pillow ball mounts.
