I haven't gotten mine in yet but I'm hoping it comes with instructions. If not, how would they be installed? Would like a step by step process, *pics would be nice tongue.gif

ok first take off your shock/strut
remove the top nut and take off the cap
remove the spring...
now whip out a dremel or anything you can grind with
you will see a metal cap(its the circle metal piece at the top of the housing)
you need to grind about 2 tenths of an inch off(the diameter)or just enough so that you can slide the sleeve over it.....easier solution is to take a hammer and bend the piece down....but make sure not to damage the shock/strut "rod"
slide the thickest o-ring in the package over the housing till it hits the bottom
slide the metal sleeve over the housing till it rests on the oring
use the lil bolts and an allen wrench and tighten
make sure all sides of the car are set equally in heighth
slide on coil
put cap on
tighten nut
place back on car
take to shop for alignment
take a corner fast as ****
