I know this seems like a newb question but am I missing something here? I'm installing some skunk2 Pro-c's and it seems like I am missing something. I used the stock rubber spring perch thing and it seems like it is not even needed.

Sorry if the terms aren't correct, this is the first time I'm installing coilovers ever.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

wait...I think I see what I did wrong....haha...

 

ok, so I placed the spacer where it was supposed to be...now another issue.

is the bolt supposed to be stabbing the top of the engine compartment? or is there something wrong with that?

 

alright...after doing both passenger and drivers side and lowering the car to the floor, they are now both looking like this.

For sure I am missing some step. is there some kind of diagram or something that I can reference?

Is there any stock parts off the original struts that I am supposed to use along side the Pro-C coilovers?

 

ok...apparently i found the solution thanks to jhpusa. Unfortunately I reinstalled my stock suspension before finding this....DoH

Did you cut the bumpstop?

 

lol damn man you shoulda called me and I would have told you everything...Make sure the 17 and 19mm above the spring are tight cuz thats what causes some clanking sounds and is a bitch to take out to tighten again. I had that happen to me when I thought it was tight and ended up being a couple of mm loose. But that tutorial seems like it tells you what you need from the OEM suspension.

And he is installing coilovers so no need to cut the bumpstops...

 

haha yea man i burned a whole day trying to get these in. Now I am discouraged. My stock suspension is clanking like crazy too...i think my endlinks are loose.
