what was cut over the original coil is the part that appears in the photo and I had to cut a little spring to leave the compression, but the coil over is toytec with the original part of the stock coil over

the coil over is complete toytec only thing he did was add the piece below, and also cut some springs.
In the more I delay in the installation was about 5 hours.
The angles I will arrange with limit straps

angles problems occur when you stretch the suspension then I will put some limiters so they do not stretch much, and with the compression that has the suspension will be the same heigh
