ok so my sister had this 2001 honda ex for 3 years now and person before he had ground control on it with cut springs....just recently the springs finally weekend from being cut and snap on 3 them so we bought tein S springs and I did the back and it came out good....question is I went to do the front and cant seem to see how the srping sets in the front its as if its missing the plate to rest on...being the Tein S is a full size spring compared to a coil over....anyone know whats missing in the upper fender?

 

Ya, in order to install sleeve-overs correctly, the spring perch must be cut off. You need new front struts bud.

 

o, youll also need an upper perch (peice that sits under the top hat) as well.

 

ya I need to figure out what the top spring rest's on...cause if I put it in now it sits on the upper fender and i know that aint right...so where can i find upper perches or what to fix this problem...

 

u need:

2x #7
2x #2
2x front struts.

why strut it is stock strut just like the one in the pic...any reason ?

 

well if these are stock struts, chances are they blew a LOOOOOOONG time ago. So now would be a good time to pick up some Tokicos or something and solve a lot of problems at once.
And you need the upper mount parts (7 and 2) for the spring.

oh it looks JUST like that?

i was under the impression that the spring perch was cut off; that is how you properly install sleeve-overs.

but if its not, just get #7 and #2

^^ agreed.
