Default Installing/assembling coilovers
Just received my new set up da coilovers last night. The assembly looks pretty straight forward but I read online to apply anti seize over the threads. It doesn't say anywhere in the instructions to do this.

Can anyone confirm? And wouldn't this get messy with dirt and dust??

Yes, you definitely want to apply anti-seize to the threads while you are adjusting the ride height. Once you get the ride height where you like it you can always clean off the excess anti-seize.
