pic request: coilover assembly

il try and get some at the weekend when i take the adjusted out the rears mate!

this is as best as i can explain it without removing stuff...

Take everything off the top of your standard shock, remove the bolt that was on top of the coilovers & throw it far away - it's too big.
Then just put everything back ontop of the coilover as it came off the original damper, screw it back on with the bolt that was on your original damper, put it on the car, attach top mount, all should be well...

it's late, and i can't word how to do this for s**t!

^^^ exactly as joey says!

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

do they do coilovers for the rear? as the shock is septate to the spring

 

[JoeyD]

it's just as the normal OEM set up is i.e spring separate from damper, but underneath the spring there is a height adjuster - the same as with most coilovers except AST's etc..

Sorry if i sound like a right noob, but is that picture with the adjuster nuts screwed right to the bottom of the coilover at its lowest limit, or would it be if it was screwed all the way to the top with the most compression on the spring? cheers

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea lowest

I can't quite remember if there was more than just the rubber I kept, it's fairly obvious when you have the strut off though.
