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)

 

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.....

 

You were a dirty bastard..... but I'm glad I got there when I did... to help you out as much as possible!

 

wtf? u at work?

 

Newp..... I'm at home! I hurt myself at work so I got to come home!

 

car is still dirty....washing it b4 work tomorrow.....



what happened? k sry for thread jack....Pm me

 

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.

 

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

 

so is his...

 

great how too, this will help very soon.

 

Glad I found this thread. I will be needing this info. in the next couple of months.

 

glad i could help you all out

 

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

 

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

 

this should help me when I get to go home and put my b&g coilovers on. nice write up!

 

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

 

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

 

i have the ksport so the camber plates some with the coilovers..just 6 bolts per side to install

 

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
