The brake line bracket does not have anything to do with the ride height...
I didnt put them on either :lazy:
Maybe you have something not seated right, I dont know....I would think one side should not be lower than the other.

 

Goin through this **** right now and it sucks! Gotta find a brake line bracket cuz I dont have my stock shocks!

 

^ if you're careful and don't think that friction will rupture your lines, you can use zip ties... or go to a junk yard and look for brackets.

 

thanks, will do that!

 

good **** , i wish when i was working on my car or friends car i hand the time to snap pics, i usally do it in a lil space with some ones parents yelling hurry up my yard is not a shop

 

ok, how do I remove the Brakes lines Brackets from my OEM Factory Shocks? I've noticed that my front shocks doesn't have the brackets for my brakes lines and NO I don't want to Zip tie it. =( Please Help!

 

finally found some brake line brackets so i can now install my konis!

 

Hey how hard was it to take off brakes lines brackets from the oem factory shocks? any secret or tricks?

 

When I did it, I hit the bracket down with a hammer. Light, not too hard and it came off. Prying it off wasn't necessary.

 

^ there you go.

 

thanks alot man. I didn't like the prying it off either. lol

 

Post some pix's mang!

 

Did you replace any of the nyloc bolts when installing your spring and dampers?

 

are the bump stops necessary to have? just wondering cause like some, mine didn't come with any. if the answer is yes then i'll drill them from stock ones.

 

Yes so you won't bottom out ur shocks.

 

Old thread revival, anyway did everyone's rear shocks come with the circlip, spring seat collar, and spring cup or just the fronts

 

Sorry to bring back this thread. I was wondering if anyone has a write up on how to intall the Koni with ground control and extended top hats. This is what I did, but I'm not completely sure its right. Spring perch on koni, then white plastic piece, then the bumpstop, then washer, black plastic "spring seat", extended top hat, washer that looks like a cup, and two nuts. did anyone do it differently?

 

How do we get the pics back?

 

maybe contacting .RJ

Yea, I need pics!

 

bump for pics revive.

 

Top hats should include new washers. The GC top hats have flat washers. Not cupped. Doesn't matter really which washers you use though.

BTW: Only use the GC sleeves that sit directly on the Koni circlip. That is the tiny clip that sits in the machined groove on the shock body. Both GC AND Koni have expressed that the silver Koni spring cup should NOT be used with sleeves as it will NOT be loaded properly. This can pop the circlip out, which will send your car crashing to the ground. This happened more than a few times when people were installing Skunk sleeves on Koni shocks.

It is also extremely important you have Koni metal sleeve inside the top-hat between the two washers. This keeps everything locked together and properly spaced. If this sleeve isn't inside the top hat, the lock nuts on the top of the shock-rod could come loose as the washer next to them vibrates.

Here is my install on Civic shocks. Notice how the sleeves are small diameter sit right against he shock body.
