do they have to be pressed together, cause they dont seem to fit together.

does anyone have any pictures of coilovers on the shocks so i can see how they go together, I have a lot of 'o' rings that came with the kit.

someone help me out(maybe they dont go together I dont know need help).

oh god. ****ty crapy coilovers. Are these the ones that use stock springs. It sounds that way. Which means horrible ride and not to good for struts. Use them if you want. And since they are APC i can see why youd have a problem cuz they were probably universal ones. Not sure what needs to be done to get them to work though

APC= honda croud. they make junk parts and any coil overs that dont come with the shocks are junk there is a reason why some coilovers are like $200 and others are well over $1000. dont take the cheap route it will haunt you

ok so the first pic is the back spring I think put together properly

second pic is the front resting on one of the ridges ( i think it needs to go down about 1/2 inch or so)

third pic is the front shock without the coil over ring on there.

any help or should I return them all?
