its just the coil sleeve but i wouldnt get em. its a good deal but for one why is the sleeve stuck on the shock?? thats already a bad sign, so its gonna b stuck on ur shock as well when u throw it on? im sure the allen bolt dont even work anymore, plus if they were on his fit im sure the springs rates for a fit are way different than a civic, its really up to u but i wouldnt jump on this deal. i put a message on his page to put a full description of the item.

By him saying that, its just the coil springs and sleeves. Yes they will work but you have to use your own top hats and struts or just buy some after market ones.

You have no idea what springs rates you're getting even if they did fit.

yea like i said "IM NOT SAYING HE'S SHADY". and im not all im trying to say is that you should put more info and pics. im just telling the dude i wouldnt jump on this deal unless i know what these coils were off originally. plus it being stuck? if the coil fits it shouldnt stay stuck (dumb *** previous owner ha!) but yea man you should think about taking some pics of everything even the one thats stuck, throw some spring rates up there as well

How the hell is it stuck on the shock? There are rubber o-rings that should be installed as well. Flip the shock upside down and press down on the gold perch until the sleeve slides off.

Actually its stuck bc on ground controls there isnt rubber o-rings there are aluminum machined rings that close up the gap.

That's only on Koni Spec ground controls.

Don't buy these. Walk away and take your money somewhere else.
