I tried installing my GC coilovers today and they didn't go on too well, so my question is, are the bigger ones for in the front or in the rear, I tried the big ones up front and it didn't fit...am I wrong??

You damn right it's a stupid question... J/K I thought that coil overs for our cars are the same size. I know my Skunk 2 are the same size for all 4

should be same size for all 4. check the year of the GCs

why dont you compare them to the stock springs...bigger springs go in the front and the smaller ones in the rear

that too... but i think all the versions of the GCs for the 2001+ civics are the same size all around

thank you for the replys, I just have one more question.

The smaller springs go in the front along with the longer thread right? and the shorter thread goes in the rear with the bigger springs?

I think this is the right way

here are the measurements i took off my fronts when i had them apart. I posted this in Jan. to help someone else out. Please be aware that this is the kit for 2001 2dr


"ok look on the inside of the sleeves the ones with the BIGGEST notch on the inside are the rears. Since I just happened to be installing my front koni shocks right now I will give you the measurements on the fronts the front spring is a little less than 6" the sleeve is about 41/2" tall. In the front you should have an aluminum upper spring seat a rubber o ring which keeps things from rattling. the rear should have an upper urethane spring seat/insert and a urethane sleeve that is split.. I think that is it i'm going by memory on the rear stuff. hope this helps"
