rear struts, coil over sleeve help???
needed new struts they were all dead, and three of the four springs were cracked. I was going to buy oe, but a kid in the area had some skunk2 sleeves and gas KYBs he was getting rid of/didn't want, so i picked em up off him for cheap. ANYWAYS, the front is pretty straight forward, but in the rear the sleeves don't sit where the OE springs do. (illustration shows my problem)
So, whats the remedy for this situation?? and bare with my drawing. The problem is the sleeve is to narrow and doesn't sit where the coils did. I mean i can just adjust the sleeves all the way up, and mess around with them until they sit even with the fronts, but thats not really ideal.
--edit--
i looked all over the place and the only info i could find was for installing on the front struts, which like i was saying, was pretty self explanatory.
