My buddy got some and is clueless on putten them on. They came with little o'rings things and some rubber things that I think are for the top and bottoms. Anyways does anyone have some info on installing these?

 

ahh, co-on I know theres a few of us honda guys that went the cheap way and bought ebay coilovers.. I know it wasnt the best idea for my friend but hes says he wants to save the extra cash for other things for his motor>

 

It should be pretty straight forward once you get the old strut assembly out with coil springs removed.

 

ummmm......well usually, the sleeve coilovers, which is what they sound like, they have instructions, i guess thats a down side of the cheap way. i know skunk2 has the rubber o ring deal too, get the instructions from their website, may help.

 

ya there cheap, didnt come with instruction either. I told him to email them and see but he hasnt got a reply>

 

ok this is ez lol...well take out ur struts then take off the stock springs ..after that just use the rubber 0 rings and put 2-4 on it then put the sleeve in and it will settle in there good and stiff after that put the spring that the coilovers came with and reassemble everything back

 

Sorry for being such a newbie but i guess we have to start somewhere.. But the o'rings go on the strut it self cause they dont fit on the sleeve.. there smaller, if i new how to add a pic i would post one to show what i have

 

heres is a pic

u put the rings on the body of the shock not the shaft.. there should be 2 sizes of orings theres fat ones and skinnier ones.. use the one that best fits the sleeve when the ring is on the shock body.. if its an accord it should be the skinnier ones.. good luck on the bouncy ride lol but hey i started that way

i used ebays on stock that sucke
then ebay on blues that still sucked
then ebays on illuminas better
but now my setup is even better lol

well i hope i helped

 

i can go install them for free let me know

 

yea they ll go in the strut itself not over the sleeve..thats pretty much what will make the sleeve stay there so it wont be all loose...and those top red hats or tops whatever u wanna call them in the pic ..dont use throw them away they ll make ur ride even bouncier lol

 

x2 to those top things lol

 

if your not using those red tops. what would u use to replace?

 

u dont need those top things on..

 

Thanks for the offer but iam not in sd anymore.. But i think i have a idea now, does anyone have pics by chance>

 

its pretty straight forward bro

u take the strut assembly off from car
compress stock spring then remove tophat
put rubber rings on the body of the shock then slip the sleeve over
put the spring on and remember DO NOT REMOVE THE BUMPSTOPS, just cut them
then put the tophat on and ur ready to put it on and adjust to desired height

 

i got the cheap ones too, i emailed the company to see if they could send intructions, and they said that they reccomend i take it to a shop to have it done

 

so did u ever get them on bro?

 

Ya thats what they told me when I emailed them too, That I should have a shop do it.. Well my problem here is that theres no shop that will, Its all about ranch trucks with big stacks.. No tuners what so ever... No i havent got them on yet, Iam still waiting that someone will shoot a pic of there ebay coilovers all put together.. Iam gonna do the coils on turkey day so Ill shoot some pics after iam done..Well thats if I can get it done

 

if i can remember later on today ill take some pictures of mine!

 

That would be kewl if u can, just want to see how there put together..Little tricks or tips always are kewl in my book.. I know there ebay coils but hes tryen to get as much drop as possable with these, he dosent care about ride quality yet.. I guess later he will and will opt to buy a better setup.. Oh, he got a email from the company he bought them and they said to get on skunk2 wedsite and use there diagram to put these together.. Waiting on them pics

 

i can drop my car anywhere from 1 inch to 4...when i get my hands on some more steelies im going to see how low i can possibly go!

 

sorry it took so long but thats the right front

 

hey thanks for the pic, i started mine today got the fronts on..But for some reason couldnt get the back coilovers off, the bolt was solid..I used pb buster air and ole fashion strenght and did not budge..SO now i have a ground sled Well i pb the bolts and iam gonna see in the morning, shitty thing i have somewhere to go and have to use the car, yahhhh.. Oh gonna have to get some new struts i think mine are shot it bounces way bad but then again its ebay coils..SO iam gonna get some new ones and see if they help out the ebay coils and save for a real setup> i regret going cheat on the coils now..

 

well been a week since i posted about this situation..Well iam stuck now, cant get the f-en bolt off. Ive used air,pb buster and brute force with breaker bar and still that bolt is not moving..Iam on my last option of cutten the bolt and just replacing with another.. Does anyone know of anything else I can try?? Really need to get this solved as my buddies car looks like a ground sled...
