I bought the car, '99 Accord 4Dr 4cyl, with the Maxspeed coilovers all around, Tokico(blue) struts on the front and stock struts on the rear. The left tokico "popped", so I decided to replace all of the struts. When I dropped the front struts I didn't like what I saw. Who ever installed them had to had screwed up in my mind. Maybe they installed the wrong coilovers for my year/model the front are labeled K562 and the rear are K472. Most of the components are date stamped OCT-00.


Right now the top hat is under the lower strut bushing. this is putting all the weight on the bushing that is meant to just support it struts resistance. This has resulting in the tophat smacking into the strut mount lower bushing cup and flattening it out.

I had to put car back together but plan on riping back apart to fix soon, but I need scanner of install sheets to know how it is suppose to be.

Also links/info on good bushings would be great, think the current one are ruined due to the weight(they are almost flat) so I need to replace them too.
