yes, use your o-rings cuase they hold the sleeve steady and it wont slip off letting the springs slip from their seat as well. and DEFINITELY cut your bumpstops in half or youll bottom out on it!!! do that and yuo should be good to go but definite on the orings and bumpstop. 
oh, and lub up the orings b4 you put em on to make em go on easier and reducing crack and tear

The O rings are for the sleeve, you simply put the o ring on the strut, then slide the sleeve on the strut, make sure the sleeve is not moving at all, if it is use the bigger O rings... these are so the sleeve dotns rock back and forth creating lots of noise, or sleeve movement. I say take the bump stops out completely. Every Civic I put coilovers on I threw them out. I wanted to see what would happen one time with the bump stops juts cut in half, and my ride was BOUNCY! took the bump stops out and it was less bouncy! The bouncy ness comes from Blow struts in which I need!

Yes ive used the o ring around the strut so the sleeve can slide in with out shakin around. u can also use eletric tape and tape it around the o rings so it wont move
