T1R coilover help

I finally got my coilovers in the mail yesterday from 08Fithappy... Great seller by the way. But I am missing one thing from each of the front coils, do I need them to do the install?

Those appear to be the mounts for the sway bar endlinks. I really cant tell from the other installed pic but that should be what those are for, judging by what the stock struts look like.

i don't have t1r coilovers but i agree with what mike410 says; those look like where you would attach the sway bar endlinks.

Bump it up, Need a clear answer on this. These are the BMAX 52s. The pieces seem to be attached to the uni-body not the sway bar... I could be wrong.

yes they are the front endlink brackets. Though if you bought them new you should have a new design, which has it integrated into the cast housing. Take pics of the set you have and I can tell you if you have an issue. I wouldnt be surprised if they left very important things out though :-/

my t1rs is integrated into the cast housing..i think yours should be too because 08fithappy did have it installed so it must have. if anyone still had that old version it would suck cause you cant lower it all the way ;p

Yeah you dont need that piece you pointed out in the picture. Those have the endlink mount built into the cast housing with and adjustable endlink in it. Circled in red in your picture for reference.

you use all the stock washers and top hat.. you have to take off the grey plastic for holding the spring use the top hat and the rubber piece on top of that

Above each post, sorta to the right you should see where it says "Permalink", to the left of that is that little scale icon, click that to give rep points.

You think letting the springs settle over night (installing them on friday night) will be long enough so I can get it aligned on saturday? They are used coilovers, don't know if that would make a difference.
