Also, since you are not installing a front alignment kit you need to ask the person who does your alignment how much range is left in your stock setup and whether a kit would benefit your setup. If you put on coils you should be able to easily install the rear alignment kit yourself.
Just type into Google Maps: custom wheels, Irvine, CA
Find a listed business that is close to you that can perform an alignment. You do not want to be driving around with your current situation as it is hard your suspension and your tires.

Yes I made sure to seat the spring on the bottom the same way the previous spring was seated. The front strut knuckle has an indentation for the end of the spring which clearly is there for the spring to be seated on. As far as using a separate strut nut, I did not know that it can't be reused as it wasnt mentioned in the DIY instructions that I found here, which was very helpful btw.
The only part that I used a lock washer was on the rear camber arm bolt which was there originally.
I'm taking it to amplified motorsports to have them check my work and make any adjustments.
