Its a bit more complicated than that on the 4th Gen's unequal A-arm coil-over front suspension.

My writeup does not have any photos attached, but most people have found it helpful. Be sure to read (and follow) the part about marking the relationship of all the parts - upper spring/shock mount, spring and lower shock mount - or its not going to go back into the holes in the shock tower for the upper spring/shock mount.
