Ditto.

But I think he meant that some shocks have a "ring" that sits around toward the middle where the spring goes

 

yea i have a 99 accord 4 door i kno exactly wut ur talkn bout the front ones have a round bottom/when the rear shocks bottom have a the kinda prong type things that come down and u slide the long *** bolt thru it. So yea u should b coo wit those tho

 

Oh, is that the question at hand?

The answer is simple. You reuse the stock "fork" that slides onto the bottom of the front strut.

 

lol oh sorry i didnt make it clear...but yea i took them off and it was teh round ones like you said. Now i got Teins s-tech and you dont really see the height difference is 1.8in a alot?... and does the springs and shocks take a while to adjust like couple of weeks and it goes lower?

 

my tein basic dampers took a week and a half before they settled where they are now. its definatly worth the wait tho.

 

oh wow thats cool yea ima wait...do u have any pics to see out they came out...? thanks

Tein has a no-sag guarantee....so how did your dampers settle?

To the OP, the new shocks go on the same way the old ones come out, provided you got the correct shocks for your vehicle

 

they dont settle?

 

unless you didnt tighten the locking pearches on the shock, they should not 'settle'

 

oh yea...yea we tighten it. and also i think we coil them too much because the srop you cant really see it so jsut placeing the spring with almost no compression would lower the car more?

 

idont understand

 

like you know when we put on the springd into the struts or have to compress it as little to tighten it.... i was thinking id the sturt is long egnough to put them on like and no t compress them at all...
