Does this look right? *Pics*
Also posted in the Supsension Forum. Thought the 92-00 civic gurus might have something to add.
Application is Ground Control coilover on stock 99-00 EM1 (Si) shock, REAR. Specifically gap between rubber spacer and metal sleeve (see pics). Does this look right?
Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks in advance.

looks like you have the sleeve or just the perchs upside down, take a picture so we can see the whole assembly

Re: (schardbody)
make sure the sleeve is snug against the shock....if not, wrap some duct tape around the shock until everything fits tight....i think they are suppose to come with o-rings to fit

Ghetto, but i have done it myself and drove on it for years with no problems. Thats if filling in that gap makes you feel better. Other than that i think you will be fine with what you have with the rubber sleeve its just there for cushioning, in my case i didn't even have the rubber sleeve, which is why i use duct tape.

You should get o-rings or different size sleeves. If you leave it like that it'll be noisy and move around. You want the mount stationary and the spring able to move when the load is removed.

Just spoke with the original seller and he had the same issue. I assume the rubber sheets or electrical tape will help fill the gap. Thanks.
