Default Important Coilover question!!!!..........

I am installing a set of koni coiloversright now, and i had a question. On the front suspension, where the spring (from the coilover) meets the movable ring (that ring that lets you adjust height), is there supposed to be rubber seat between the spring and movable ring? Does this rubber seat come from off of the stock equipment and on to tghe coilovers?


Pleas HELP, i am in the middle of this and NEED to finish. THANKS!!!!!!

Default I'm not positive, but I believe on the front suspension, you will NOT re-use the rubber

spring seats. I have H&R's, and the spring sits right on the spring perch, which is directly over the spanners. I believe (not completely positive) that with Koni kit the spring rests right on the spanner.

Do yourself a favor, and set the spanner on the high side. It will be a lot easier to lower spanners, than it will be to raise them.

Default You have mail...BTW RKA is right...but do it when you've attached the

top hat etc otherwise you'd have to compress the spring to put the top hat etc on.

No, but Koni does make an optional plastic washer that you can request for free.
