Default just got my Koni yellows

Ok so i just got my koni yellows which im happy. the sespension that i got right now are stock shocks with ebay coilovers I think..... that last owner said there were type R but they look from Ebay.

But i was wondering if i press the sleeve (from the Ebay coilovers) on the koni shock and just use it till i get the GC. will it be possible to press them out again and which to GC coilovers??

I would say yes but without seeing these ebay parts, not certain. My Koni's have a spring seat/perch which rests on a snap ring in a groove on the shock body. I believe the GC sleeve rests on the snap rings in place of the spring seat supplied with the Konis. The sleeves aren't pressed on - at least not as in using a hydraulic press if that's what u mean. They are just slipped on by hand. They e-gay ones may need the spring perches to sit on. They would just be in the place the springs usually would be.

Yeah ebay coilovers need the perch to sit on (it comes with the koni's when you buy them brand new), When ordering your GC's make sure you ask for the Koni specific ones (there are 2 different ones), as they will sit on the snap rings like B and B said.
