I understand financial burden sometimes, but I have found that if you actually wait and get the parts that you want, you dont have to buy new ones later or have to worry about selling the old stuff

Ok, here is a quick and dirty. Since I don't have my stuff right in front of me you will have to forgive me, but I will try to get you through it.

Step 1: Make sure that your struts are cleaned off. This will make things much easier in the long run, and they will look nice and shiny when you are done.

Step 2: Cut the rubber bump stop on the strut as shown in the picture. You can barely see the line where they cut it, so look close.



(Thanks HAZone, hope you dont care about me linking to the pic)

Step 3: There will be sets of rubber rings in the kit. Find which set works well with your struts, and then roll them onto the strut about where the sleeve will sit on the strut. Place them about 1 inch in from where the top and bottom of the coilover sleeve will be when fully installed. Make sure that you fit the sleeves on top of these spacers before you go to the next step. There may be a little play in the fit (not to much), but the next step will fix that. Take the sleeves back off.

Step 4: Now that you have the rubber spacers on, take some duct tape and roll over them so that the tape secures them to the strut so they can't move up and down. Don't use to much tape or your sleeves won't fit on top and you will have to try again. Make sure that you dont get to high or to low with the tape, or it will show above your sleeves, and that is not cool.

Step 5 : Slip the sleeve onto the strut and make sure there is no play in the way that it fits, it needs to be snug against those spacers.

Step 6: Slide then the springs on top of the sleeves and you should be ready to go.


If I would have seen this post yesterday when I put on my camber kit, I would have done some pics and stuff for you, but if I have to do some suspension work anytime soon I will take some pics and post them up here so people can reference.
