wow, haven't seen those in a long time.... those o-rings are for you to slip over the shock body before you install the coilover sleeve. It's to keep it from rattling around. you have to test fit to see which thickness o-ring you need, that's why they gave you several different sizes.

Electrical also helps with those o rings. I used both to make sure they weren't moving.

He is right.

Post a closer pic.

If my thought is right, (my skunk2's had them) they go on the front shock. The Sleeve sits on top of top of it.

The ring slides all the way down the body of the shock, and stops the sleeve from sitting on the stock spring perch.

I used mine, but I took them out. I couldn't get as low as I wanted with them.
