hey guys, of course tech help at dropzone is closed today(saturday) and im having some issues..........heres the problem. I bought the DZ coilover set and new DZ strut/shocks. When i slide the alum sleeve over the new shock it doesnt slide all the way down to the spring seat, just short near the weld. Should the sleeve slide all the way down? not sure how to post a pic........any help would be great.

 

Im not real familiar with the dz kit but i would imagine you want it to sit flush(had vspec coilovers and they sat flush with my shock)...maybe its upside down or the weld is sticking out a little to much and you should file it down...hope someone comes through to help you out some more

thanks but i have the instructions and of course the pic doesnt show it seated on the spring catch, i will try filing it down some.....i tried to add the pic

did these shocks come with the coilover...it may be that they arent the correct match for each other...if you can post some more pics of the shocks and sleeves ill try and help you out more

 

i used a desktop wheel grinder to shave down the welds some and the sleeves sit better. the back ones sit fine but the adjusters sit in the oem lower sleeve, put one side front and back on and looks good, i will take more pics sunday and post them, thanks Powermidget.........this was the auction picture.......

well it looks like the front ones dont sit totally flush so you prob just want to get that locking ring under there and just tap it on tight with a ball end...the weight of the car might help....did you notice if they sat better once you put them on?

 

mine were the same way....never had a problem

 

they sat better, think i got that problem fixed, now i have to figure out the right springs, they were sent with the wrong description, (front/rear) now i have to redo 2 of them after i get the bolt i broke from honda. 94 from MA, not too bad to only break one. thanks for the help........
