hey, i was wondering. im trying to put my konis together with my h&r race springs and when i set the spring in the metal cup it doesn't seem to sit straight. will this thing even out when theres pressure on it? also, are the shocks with the large metal cup for the front or back. im assuming they are for the front. first time installing these things, anyone give me a hand?

 

I think the spring itself has to turn into the indentention of the cup thats why it isn't sitting level. also the big cup I belives goes in back. ANYONE else can confirm this?

 

alright i took some pictures to see. holy crap i need a tripod.
here are the shocks, i assume the top box is the fronts, and the box on the right are the rears? i didn't see anywhere on the box where it said that.


here is the spring to where the bottom of the spring is sitting as far in the cup as possible. this spring is marked with an "f" so front right?



this is how the shock sits when it is placed in the cup as it was in the picture before.



and if i don't try to sit it all the way in the cup the bottom of the spring sits in the right place, but its not firmly sitting in the cup, but kinda hanging on top of the cup.



and this is the rear cup correct?



thanks for looking

 

also has anyone else noticed the shocks yellow paint chips real easy, i read about it before hand but jeezzz i didn't think it was that bad. did any of you get some yellow paint to go over the imperfections?

 

Right box is fronts, bottom will fit into fork piece that goes over cv axle. springs will seat into cup under load. You'll love the koni's. good choice

 

ohhh so the right box is the fronts. so im just putting the wrong spring in the wrong strut. thanks for clearing that up.
