Fixing to install the BP51 kit on my 460, any advice before I tear into it? One gent told me about clocking the collars so they can be adjusted after install. I need more tips to make it frustration free!

Do you have the rear air?

I found that the front was actually quite easy to install. Put the jack under the A arm on the passenger side when doing the driver side. This would lower the driver side to give you some space to put in the coilover. For the passenger side, I put the kac under the KDSS piston. For the rear, the hardest part for me was to remove the rear airbags. I would recommend to cut the air hose to compress the airbags to remove it. Compress the new spring to put it in with enough clearance.

You'll need a rear air to spring conversion kit and you want to read How do you disable dash lights after removing air suspension/AHC?
