Hell I don't even understand what you're trying to say.

EGwhat!!!

bump for the nice writing lol

Marauder

So you have a sleeve coilover and it wasn't mounted on top of the factory spring perch?

There might be a retaining clip or something, but I don't have experience with stock shocks and sleeve coilovers.

what are you trying to say?

Those are completely different shocks so refering them to stock is not comparable. If your speaking of the front looking like its sitting all the way on the shock itself like this:



Than that's correct. Now the back should sit in the spring cup and your adjustablity is very limited...

Are you talking about that chrome piece in the bottom of the pic? You think that it is a collar for the adj sleeve to sit on? Is that what you are asking about?

a bumpstop is just that. it prevents the strut rod from bottoming out when you hit bump, dips, etc. if your car is to low and with out one, eventually it will bottom out causing the strut to pop, leaking fluid every where.

the location of it should be on the strut rod itself. if your dust boot is not on you can see it.

i guess its time for me to bust out the helms and read up on the suspenison.
i always overlooked that part
thanks again
