I hope you mean actual coil overs, and not those $199 things that go over your stock struts. If they are actual coil overs, I can do it. If not, don't ask. They are junk, and will cause nothing but problems.

Every one I've seen won't stay in place. And, they don't offer consistent damping. Plus, every time you change the spring rate/ride height on a WRX you need to check the alignment.

Your best bet is to send them back or sell them. If you want the car lowered, get regular lowering springs (I have the Tein S-Techs and love them) or save up and get real coil overs if you want better handling.

tein s.techs are nice, as well as h&r's and many others.. as far as sleeved coil over springs, alot of auto-x guys(atleast the prelude community) pair either skunk2 or ground control coilover springs with koni yellows.. excellent setup if you wanna spend $800 or so.. but yea what coilover springs did you go with? if its some no name crap on ebay or matrix or the like, trash em..
