Default Skunk2 Coilover Sleeves, Who's Got Them?

I bought a set about 2 weeks ago and I am sick of my car being a 4x4 but the fuggin directions says to cut the stock struts ? WTF? Does anybody have these on their 02-04 RSX? Could you post pics of the install and how-to? Thank ya'll!

They are probably recommending cutting the front strut area where the oem spring goes. This will provide extra adjustment room. But you will not be able to use normal sprigns on that strut ever again.

Note that many folks have complained about noise with the Skunk2 kit on oem struts. Also, don't expect your shocks to last long.

If you just want to lower your car and maintain a decent ride and oem-like spring fitment, I'd recommend the Tein S-tech springs.

Thanks for the imput. I was actually thinking about selling them to get springs but I think I am just going to wait to get a full coilover kit.
