BMW E92 335i Coilover Install DIY with Pictures

We spent the weekend installing a coilover kit on my cousin's 2008 BMW E92 335i and did a DIY guide with some photos from the install. Check out the link below for the full write up.

No need to loosen control arm bolt on coilover install and suspension should be at ride height and torque to 74ftlbs.

Also, which way do you have the rear springs installed with the "perch" adjustment piece?

I've seen most photos where the spring is sitting on the arm on the bottom, and the adjuster/perch piece is at the top to set the height?

Nobody seems to have photos of this...M3 is that way, 1 series that way, but haven't seen photos of the spring installed on a E92 335i couple.

Thanks
