trouble installing koni yellows
 
alright, so i have everything off and apart on my front suspension and go to put the shock into the damper fork and the shock is too small/ damper fork wont close all the way. am i just plain stupid and im missing something, or have more people had this problem with the yellows fitting onto an EG... yes i have the correct shocks for the vehicle.

do i need to go pick up some new damper forks or something, or just return the shocks and tell them they sent me the wrong ones and try again with a new set?

So the fork is not clamping onto the bottom of the shock and it's just sitting there loose inside the middle of the top of the fork?

vtecaddict 09-03-2009 06:02 PM

yes, exactly.

That is really weird. Perhaps the clamping bolt is not going in as far as it is suppose to be able to go?

vtecaddict 09-03-2009 06:11 PM

its all the way tight and a new clamping bolt... the only thing i can think of is that the shocks themselves were in the wrong box and i bet these are for an 88-91 civic... they have a skinner shock where it connects to the fork.

I would have to say you are probably right. These are definitely the wrong ones.

vtecaddict 09-03-2009 06:16 PM

box says 1152sp and the shock says 1166sp4... well crap... looks like im putting the lowering springs on my stock shocks for the next couple days... until i can send back the special orders and get the right ones.
