So I have a set of Konis and G/C coils, I don't think I have all the hardware to assemble them, and can't find them on the koni website because I don't know the name, so I was wondering if someone can help me track down what I need. According to this thread, https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/koni-ground-control-install-1212527/ , I am missing a second jam nut, gc spring isolator, and do I need a new top hat bushing? Also, I don't have the brake line bracket, do Konis come with them?

 

Should have come with the shocks. 2 nuts per shock.

Not needed if using stock upper shock mounts.

Not really, but you will need the metal sleeve that comes with the Koni shocks, since the diameter is larger than the stock shock shaft. if it is too difficult to press in the new sleeve, you can open up the rubber a little bit with a file.

No. Either remove the stock one and reuse it, or use zip ties like most of us do.

 

I picked up the set used thats why I'm missing hardware. When you say the metal sleeve do you mean the metal sleeve that goes through the bushing?

 

Yes.

Koni Sports use a thicker shaft than stock shocks, and won't fit through the metal sleeve that the stock shocks used.

 

Sorry if I'm being daft, but I use the OEM top hats, just a different sleeve but not a different bushing? Because koni says they don't sell the bushing.

 

Ok, so I got the part number, its 70.52.11.644.0, for reference. So I use the OEM bushing with a bigger sleeve?

 

Correct.

The larger sleeve will fit. Just force it in slowly.

 

Do I need the bushing sleeves for all the shocks or just the fronts.

 

Is this really so difficult to understand?

 

The statement isn't difficult to understand, but as written, I wasn't sure if applied to all of the shocks, so I was just asking, as I have only seen assembly instructions for the fronts. Also, I was wondering if anyone got adapters from anywhere else besides Skunk2? GC claims there are no adapters available, but then produce two different sizes of sleeves, one with an adapter built in, so clearly they exist and are made by GC but evidently not sold separately.
