Can someone guide me to some good links on how to install them?


TIA


EDIT: hey, can you help me out.

i just installed skank2 sleeve over coilovers on my front 2 OEM struts. when i drove it around, it kept making loud weird creaking or scraping noises specialy towards the front right side.

A alredy cut the lower section of the bumpstop (.5 inches) and i took out the dust covers.

do you have any idea what the problem could be??

are they the coilover sleeves or the full coilovers?

you apply the spring compressor when you want to remove the springs.

take the whole spring/shock assembly off the car first,
then compress the spring,
remove the spirng hat,
take off the spring.. and yay.. its dissasembled.

coilover sleeves.

i already have the car up and took of the wheel and i unbloted 2 bolts under the hood where the shock goes. now what?

Tad

fronts
2-12mm brakeline bolts
14mm shock fork
17mm on each end of bottom of shock fork

remove shock assembly

rear
2-14mm on top of shock
14mm on bottom of shock
14mm holding lca to brake

remove shock assembly

dissasemble and install ur new ****.

then punch yourself if you fucked it up cuz you didnt go buy a manual

if you have a spring compressor, put it on tight and compress the spring until the top is slightly of the upper mount. then remove the upper mount and pull out the spring. install sleeve and spring without the compressor. do this on all four.

oh and that's after you get the struts out.

Look at some pictures. It should be straight forward. I did it for the 1st time 3 years ago on my old 97 Accord.

if you using a spring compressor at home it might be easier to loosen them top hat nuts with the shocks in the car first because you get more leveradge.

make sure you're very careful when using the spring compressor

if the spring comes loose somehow when compressed, it could fly off and ******* KILL you,
literally.

but just make sure you get that spring compressor on there properly

hey i got 2 metal rings with my omni coilover sleeves and i was told to put them on the front 2 coilovers. im not sure where to put them. do you have like a pic or could you tell me where it goes?

mikehawkBUiLT

you dont even need a spring compressor. what i do is put the shock on the ground pointing the hat toward a wall and have a buddy step on the shock to secure it. then i loosen the top bolt and the ****** spring flies out towards the wall. LOL, works everytime

Deemeetree

Go on OmniPower's site and you can check all the pics from the full coilovers. Should help you out.

allmotorteg_96

You can get the spring compresor at auto zone if u dont have one. And make sure it is on the front struts real good.(they have a lot of tension on them.

jEE

those go on the bottom of the coilover setup

- good luck byron.
