ok the silver thing you see it the "nut" that i was talking about. it has a rubber pad underneath it, that is what the spring rests on. the sleave it is threaded to actually goes over the bump stop. hope that helps.

hey i installed mine the other way around.....(in the rear)

lnf08ecotec

then u wont be able to adjust ride height!? the reason the pic looks so confusing is bc in the pic he has the height adjusted all the way up so that it would be easy for his spring to seat since the supplied springs are half the height of any other spring......i just installed these the other day if u r struglling with the rears give up now bc the front is a whole different beast to tackle if you ever want to get them riding right......i iwsh i had taken pics but grease on hands and cameras dont mix so i skipped the photo ops.....

jerseyfatboy

well i jacked my car up once again nd pulled the spring nd adjuster out nd looked at em. the only i was able to install both pieces is with threaded part of the mount pointing downwards into the spring...the way jimbo has it might wrk but as far as height adjustment...no way

ok it's simple dude, put the spring on the lower perch, take the sleeve and put it on top of the spring with the lip up so it and the adjustment ring and rubber pad resting on the spring, lower the car making sure the bump stops stay inside the sleeve. after that adjust the ride height you want.

jerseyfatboy

thats xactly wat i did except i have my sleeve downwards going into the spring...nd i can adjust my height like that

quick question. how is the body of the shock adjustable? tried looking for it in the pics but couldnt see it.

jimbos'ss

iTrader: (2)

on the fronts its a threaded shock body so the mounting works like a sleeve, on the rears it's not adjustable, the springs sit on a adjustable perch

iTrader: (4)

does anyone know how to install the b&g coilovers in the front? Do i need the camber plates or something?

i'm pretty sure you reuse stock camber plates

conerboner

iTrader: (4)

Do you have these on yours? i can't get them to fit over them i tried that

conerboner

iTrader: (4)

yeah i saw gravana tuning was selling the camber plates for the b&g ones. I don't know if i have to buy them but you would think they would say something about that when you buy them. i wish there was a how to for these ones

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK rk sport coilovers OWN they look sick man good job on the install, is the ride bouncy at all?

ksport sucks=\ no stiffness adjustments for the rear, and fronts is hard to find the perfect setting. besides that the drop is awsome
