kyb agx and ground control coilovers
Alright, so tomorrow i shall install them but i have a few questions.
1) While researching i read that someone filed a 1/4" into the shock to make the coilover perch rest better. Is that necessary?
2) Will i use all the O rings they provided?
3. Will i use the split sleeves they provided or the stocks? I dont think their sleeves will fit over the shocks allowing the coilover to go over it.
Any other useful information from people with the same or similar setup that are willing to help me out would be awesome. Thanks, Justin

Ill help you out with your questions
1)First of all yes, thats true about filing a 1/4 inch drain hole into jus the rear shock in order for the coil to sit more firmly.
2)No you dont necessarily need all the O-rings. The directions said to use 2 thick O-rings on each of the rear struts and jus 1 thin ring on each of the fronts.
3)I am not sure about this because I did not receive mine with any sleeve and all I did was use 2 thick O-rings and placed the coil adjuster over it..no sleeve whatsoever.
You will need to take your stock bump stop(should be orange) and cut that in half and keep the upper portion. The instructions also require you to cut 1 and 1/2 inch from the stock metal piece(i dont know the name of it)
. And make sure you remove the stock rubber insulator to reuse it later when you reassemble your coil and shock

3) No you don't need the sleeves, they're for use with stock shocks.
I didn't re-use my dust cover boot. I felt it would get bunched up against the shock body as it did on my friends Civic.
