It just needs to be setup like this.

That was the perch that the previous owner had the oem springs on. I had to remove it to put on the coilover lock rings. The rubber mallet did the trick, thanks.
PO was running coilovers with stock springs?Quote:

What uhh...what's this? It's bolted to the frame near the jack. Looks like a simple stopper to put under the wheel while it's jacked up?
That's exactly what it is, a wheel chock

The springs are about $600 when they're not on sale. I ended up paying $684 for everything I needed to make it work.Quote:

Yeahhh, but I wanted to pair the TCKs with TCKs. I originally was going to go with ground control because I was told I needed camber plates to use TCK springs.Quote:

I think I might already have the rear strut mounts. What are the benefits of camber plates?Quote:

Left side works.
Any ideas?

I found a threat that recommends running wires from the other side and another that said just replace the whole $90 part.
You can buy the new piece and separate the painted piece and install that instead of paying for new paint.

Hairdryer and a sharpened screwdriver. There are six clips holding it on. Work from the ends into the middle.

Thanks again Justin. I was able to pry one end apart just a bit. I need to get it disconnected from the car so I have an easier spot to work on it. I assume I need to drop the trunk liner IOT get to the wiring connector.Quote:

Got it. Dropped the trunk liner and disconnected the trunk grip mechanism. Heat gun, flat tip and non-marring pry tool did the rest.
