I got some tokiko blue (non adjustable) shocks and a set of ebay coil overs. I want to use them , and hopefully they work out okay for me. (i've heard ALL the bad storries). My problem is what way do the allen wrench screws in the sleeves face? DO they go to the bottom near the stock spring perch or up towards the dust boot?
They seem to "mis-align" from a lip that's on the shock because the set screws land on the weld right there and tend to want to slide up and off of it, so that way 3 little allen screws would be holding the entire weight fo that corner. Doesn't sound right, but there's no screws long enough to secure it on the dust boot end.
Several sizes of O-rings came with teh kit, but from all my searching i found that most of the time you put one under each sleeve to avoid rattling. DO these screws need to be tight, or are they just "rattle revention" as well? I wouls assume they need to at least hold the sleeve in place. I have also seen an o-ring used where teh sleeve rests on teh spring perch on the shock and has one to stop it from rattling.
THE SPRINGS SEEM WAY TOO SHORT , but maybe it's just the lowering .
the parts are lais out how they were in teh box ( well, only the soring, sleeve and top cap)
also the spanner nut that has teh collar on it for centering the sring would be pointing down if i were to install them with teh set screwes towards the factory perch.
The brand is "pro spec", please look at this pics and give me any advice you can. I've always avoided these types of "coil overs" for lots of reasons, but now is got some and need some help
