install help - coilover sleeves

[bazooka joe]

got a used set of these (cheap) thought i'd givem a try, anyone want to lend me a hand...i'll need to rent a compressor.....

Do you have the parts in stock now? What days are good for you? Saturday 29th? I'm out this weekend.

I just got this spring compressor, but I haven't tried using it, we can rent one from AutoZone if that one doesn't work out.

I can do this weekend.

 

[bazooka joe]

What struts are these going on? For some reason, I couldn't get Skunk 2s or Ground Controls to fit on KYBs.

Also, let me get a picture of something, but you might need this OEM part in the future.

It is the Bearing (between the base mount and the spring seat). That little plastic piece (which I believe needs to be installed with the coilovers) would always break and tear apart. Maybe I didn't install mine correctly, but it is a good thing to have handy.

Also, this might seem weird, but I remember having to zip tie the top of the coilover hat (silver) to the springs so it wouldn't seperate... Let me try to think back why...

Please, I hope someone else can chime in because these are my own experiences. Maybe I just had a goofy set!

The second image of the Blue P5 is my friend's when he had his slammed.
