So i'm about ready to give this installation a go!

I've searched the forum regarding the whole "shaving down the rear bolt 0.25"

What exactly will I be shaving? I wish there was a picture/video of what exactly I have to do to get this show on the road.

I'd appreciate it if someone could point this out to me :D

** UPDATE **

Installed the coils, the whole "shaving down the rear bolt 0.25" makes a lot more sense when installing.

I didn't go too aggressive a drop since i'd be unable to get up the driveway at my job. But here are some pics :D

This is straight from the Megan racing website. A few members here who have installed them did say they grinded it to fit. Unfortunately there are no pictures after searching multiple threads. I would ask them personally through PM but it shows they have been inactive for a few months.

NOTE: Rear lower eye bolts need to be ground down to 1.75" width from 2.00" width. Straight out of the box, it is 2.00" wide. It needs to be ground down to 1.75" to fit onto the rear control arm of the Acura TSX 2003-2007.

The rear lower eye bolt is on the rear shock on the very bottom. It attaches the shock to the rear knuckle. If you search Fucntion Forum coilovers you will find more info. Also, the reason that you need to shave it down is because it's from the same gen US accord and it has a wider knuckle than the TSX.
