they go on the same way you would install a lowering spring. are these sleeves going on a GD or GE?? the GE is a little more involved, all the weather cowling would need to be removed to access the front shocks. there are DIY guides all over this website that document a step-by-step install for both generations of the Fit.

i helped a friend install ground control sleeves on his GE and it can go as low as the pro-c's on my GD. looks so damn sexy

MOST IMPORTANTLY, support the hub BEFORE you remove the shock for the front suspension. we put a jack beneath the hub and also supported it with a wire coat hangar incase someone knocks over the jack. i've been lucky and have never had to deal an axle pop-out.

good luck!
