Ok, could someone show me how to assemble the kyb agx shocks with ground conttrol coilovers, the way i have it now is tottaly wrong. It works and everything but i am worried that if i hit a big enough pothole the spriing will jump around and somthing will break...

pictures, advice, words of wisdom, etc... anything will be greatly apreciated.

Do you mean that, when uncompressed, the spring flopps around loose? That's normal... once compressed on your car, the suspension will never extend far enough, long enough for the spring to flop around unless you put all four wheels off the ground with a lift or jack stands.

Yep, you just discovered one of the reasons people go with a better coil-over setup -- separate ride-height and spring pre-load adjustments.

ok, but when I had the car in for wheel spacer fitting, i was told that the coilovers were installed wrong. they seem to be fine with me though.

Yeah, but the thing is with GC, you can go through nearly the entire range of height adjustment without ever preloading the spring because it is loose at full extention... it's only "loaded" when it's on the ground, or the opposite wheel is on the ground, which would be the case with any coilover even if the adjustment is seperate... so it's really a non-issue.
