Did you ask 8th civic owners? Or other car owners with GC.

But to install take a look at the diy section, it's about the samething.

The rears will fall out if you jack the car up. Also, the highest height that can be run in the rear will leave no fender gap at all. Someone at GC messed up with the FG/FA rear springs. They are too short.

I've heard that they have been told about the problem but wont recognize it as a problem. If you wait a little while, Redshift Motorsports (a site sponsor) will have a solution.
