i just picked up some coilovers for my 95 accord coupe. it came with a BUNCH of O-rings but no paper work telling me where they go or anything.

tried searching but turned up a ton of crap. any one have a guide?

 

Whats the brand of the coilovers,does it have any alan keys

 

not sure of the brand. it came with 2 wrenches to do adjusting.

 

Are they just a coilover sleeve??
If so, you just stick one o-ring on the body of the shock and it prevents the sleeve from rattling against the shock body.

 

its a spring and sleeve kit. so should i just put these O-ring between thing that might make noise?

 

Ummmmmmmmm are you sure you're up to the task of doing this???
Have you already removed the factory springs or are you fitting these to new Shocks??

Have a look at this site (which I found with a very very quick google search)

No it's not a Honda that he is performing the coilover change on but it does show the o-rings so you will have half an idea where they go.

If you are removing the springs from the shocks to put on your sleeves please use a spring compressor to remove the springs!!
(I take no responsibility for your injuries or death if you try to just undo the nut on top of the strut!!)

 

havent done anything yet. im really up to doing this, its time i learn to work on my own car and also done a few other repairs. ill be renting a spring compressor from autozone. and using the stock shocks. thanks for that link! gave me a pretty good idea of whats going on.

 

Sorry if I sounded like I was bagging you or anything, wasn't my intention.... just wanted to say it can be dangerous for the unwary!
Good luck mate, I've always thought the only way to learn is to jump in the deep end and give it a go!

 

didnt seem like that at all man your good. an thanks again for that link!

 

got a question before i put these on. the guy i got these from said i can drop my car 1 to 4 inches. are my tires gonna sit wierd? or have uneven tire wear? i think ill only drop to 2 inches maybe 2 an half inches.

 

With any suspension modifications you should always get a wheel alignment, in saying that you will most likely get some negative camber which will chew out the inside of the tyres faster than normal. Make sure they set the tow correctly, as it will reduce the wear dramatically (I "think" it should be something like 0 tow)

 

well already need an alignment done so i guess im good to throw these on there then get it in the shop. thanks

 

Thx Bro That Link its Very Helpfull

 

Your stock shocks are pretty much guarenteed to blow if you lower the vehicle (especially with no name sleeve-overs without knowing spring rates,etc) at a minimum you'll want newer shocks to go with them.

There are several suspension threads in the Accord FAQ, I suggest you read through those. The Accord will probably give you a **** ton of trouble on the lower strut bolt in the rear, so I suggest you soak it in PB Blaster over night before you even attempt to loosen it. I had to resort to air tools myself to get it off.
