Default kyb agx and ground control coilover ?'s

Alright, so tomorrow i shall install them but i have a few questions.
1) While researching i read that someone filed a 1/4" into the shock to make the coilover perch rest better. Is that necessary?
2) Will i use all the O rings they provided?
3. Will i use the split sleeves they provided or the stocks? I dont think their sleeves will fit over the shocks allowing the coilover to go over it.
Any other useful information from people with the same or similar setup that are willing to help me out would be awesome. Thanks, Justin

I am installing this same exact setup this coming week. I was also concerned about the sleeve not really fitting into the base of the kyb's. I talked to a auto shop owner about it and he said it really shouldn't make any difference and that the sleeve should not dig into the "perch". with how many peopl that have done this setup or ones similar to it already without doing any mods to the shock or sleeve, I am not worried about it.

1 - nah, i didnt
2 - yes, i did..put one on about 1.5-2 inches from the bottom and thenn put the sleeve over it..and thern use a small screw driver to push the second one (closest to the top) in
3 - use the ground control ones..im not too sure wtf you mean by this
4 - GET THE 14MM BOLT ON BOTH THE REAR SHOCKS LOOSENED BY A SHOP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO THIS....YOU WILL SNAP THE BOLTS RIGHT OFF AND IT WILL TAKE YOU HOURS TO DRILL THEM OUT...SEARCH FOR THIS...it sucks. and happened to me last weekend...good luck

Use the o-rings not the sleeves, yes you have to dremel off a litttle bit on the front set. I have the exact same setup for about a year I haven't encountered any problems. Before you start working on it...measure out the all four wheels between the fenders and the tires that'll make it easier to align. DO NOT drop it more than 1.5 inches' than stock...the shocks can't handle that much of a drop.
