ok so i have the diagram but there are some differences i want to make sure of. i am wondering what i have to cut exactly, heres some pics of what i mean.






had to get all new struts in the front too cuz they were both bad, go figure??? lol



ok so any help would be great, thanx guys

 

mxs i see your browsin the area and i know youve done coilovers, can you help me please? or anyone in general its about to rain soon so i want to finish these asap, thanx again

 

damn anybody? its not that difficult if youve done it before. please the rain is almost here! im beggin, lol.

 

I think they are telling you to cut the dust cover. Reason being, when you lower it the dust cover will bottom out and break. Then it will become useless.

I know it's bad practice but I took off the dust covers and left them off. I was too lazy to cut the covers.

 

the black sleeve part is the dust boot, you cut that down to an inch, like in the drawing

the orange hard rubber thing is the bump stop, cut that in half. Since I don't know if you can cut the black bump stops that came with your new shocks, I would toss those, and use the other halves from the rear shocks

 

yea just the dust boots and the bumpstops. the dust boot should be plastic for a few inches and then have metal on the inside. i trimmed mine all the way to the metal. andyou might have to drill out the hole in the top of the dust boot just depending on the size of your new shock's shaft.

 

nope i cut them to specs and it all seems to be fine. the bump stops i didnt cut because according to the drawing they need to be cut to about an inch which is what they are now so i left them alone. they are all on minus the one strut i cant get out because of the old snapped bolt im trying to hammer out now. hopefully i can finish it off tonight though.

 

Sweet!! I can't wait to see some pics!!

 

tomorrow for sure ill have them i took a couple of the ones that are done but i got a little bit of light left outside so imma use it on teh car and not on teh internet, lol. peace for now

 

sounds good. my install was a pain and took me a long time. glad to know everything is goin well with yours. cant wait to see it finished.
