Skunk2 Coilovers part list
I just picked up some used Skunk2 sleeve coilovers for 92-95 civics. They came still attatched to the oem shocks. I took them off the shocks and cleaned everything up. My question is, im going to throw out the shocks, but there are a bunch of misc. parts left over, what should i keep for the install?
I have: The springs, sleeves, collars, and a bunch of o-rings...is that all that comes with the kit?

which the guy broke both of
...it took a bit of heat to get those collars freed up but everything looks good to go.
theres 2 rings that were on the rear shock (i think) ..do i need those too?

Re: Skunk2 Coilovers part list (97spooncivic)
Spray that biatch with lube and then use a torch to evenly heat the rings only, you have a very slim chance of it breaking loose but it might help it a bit. If you need to, get larger wrenches or bust out the screwdriver. Not recommended.
The two rings are for the rear struts on some vehicles that do not have a pirch , or if you cut the pirch off of the strut.

propane torch. Heat the collars so they expand, put on some gloves (because its obviously HOT) and spin those suckers off...2 of them required anti-sieze spray + heat because they were stuck on bad. After i cleaned up the threads on everything you cant even tell they are used.
