Putting my KYB AGX shock and Tein S-Tech together on my Prelude SH, did i miss anything???
For all of you suspension guru's please let me know if I left any important parts out!!!
Ok I'm sure I purchased everything to put together my KYB AGX's and Tein S-Tech. Here are two pictures of my fronts put together (Bolts are not fully torqued to specs). Bolt should be lower if I'm correct.


Here is the rear, please let me know if I missed anything cause it seems that the top hat seems to sit a little low or is that how it's supposed to be on the rear suspension??? (Bolts are not fully torqued to specs)

Extra pieces, these pieces didn't fit right on the shock, too big.

Assuming the strut/spring assembly and peices arent too far off from a civic's....
Where are your dust covers and bumpstops?...
Also the little sleeve looking peice goes between the little rubber pieces (one goes on top of the tophat, the other on bottom)
The silver washer goes between the bumpstop and the dustcover and i dont know about the 3rd piece..

picture 4, 5, 8 shows the (cut in half) bump stops. i know that i need another one before the dust cover. it that the one that your talking about?
wtf, those arent the bumpstops you were supposed to cut in half.
those are the top mount bushings. you should not have cut them!
you dont even have a bumpstop shown at all.

well youre missing your REAL bumpstops, you fucked up the top mount bushings, youre not using the right bumpstop washer (has a taper to match the shock where it tapers down), and you dont seem to have a clue.
where are your stock parts?

you must disassemble your stock parts FIRST. thats your problem.
you need to reuse alot of the parts from the old suspension like the top hat mount, bushings, bumpstop, washers.. blah blah.

thats the thing i don't want to that, thats why im buying all of the parts
fine. waste your money.
get those kyb bumpstop and dust cover. way to waste $50.
you need to get the right washer too.

and thats the last of my advice.

the reason why im doing this is when my stock suspension comes out im going to sell them, i will make the money back if not more

what the hell are you saying i think your confused, im not disassembling my stock suspension, its staying the way it is when it comes out then im going to sell it. that is why im buying all of the separate pieces to assemble my kyb's and tien springs.
BTW im not going to sell it on H-T, its going on ebay cause I will make more money then i would get it here.
