im saying i dont know if i should use the koni spring perch with the skunk2 ring adapter on top of that and then the skunk2 sleeve/coilover on top that OR just the skunk2 adaptar ring onto the shock and the sleeve/coil on top of that? which would be the correct way of installing these? the safe way? thanks

No. It's possible although not recommended with Konies and 1) not needed when using the Skunk2 Koni ring adapter and 2) will void you Koni warranty.

just the skunk2 adaptar ring onto the shock and the sleeve/coil on top of that
Yes.

Note that you will also not need the gold colored steel ring up front.



Pay attention that you don't go to low because with stock yellow Konies you will hit your bumpstops. You could then construct DIY extended top hats or buy GC ones.
