Can I get a confirmation of what else, if anything, I need as I assemble the coil over kit?
Is there some sort of bushing/washer that lives on the shaft UNDER the top spring hat that supports it? All I got was the plastic washer that slides down the shaft and sit on the shock body. I watched this video and nothing is mentioned or used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGIrZ1sJVdc It just seems like there'd be something more so I figured better to ask and be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance. Chris Attached thumbnail(s) |

Here's my (current) final solution assembly:
- open the hole in the spring hat so if slips over the shaft - remove the rubber from the stock under hat bumper - spring goes on - hat goes on - custom, no rubber stock "washer" goes on (it has a nice step/recess that perfectly fits on the shaft step!) - custom spacer goes on (spaces the hat down to prevent it from contacting the underside edge of the Tangerine Racing raised tower) - Tangerine Racing spacer goes on This slides up into the shock tower, then the spherical bearing and upper Tangerine Racing spacer go on, then the Al cap and nut I'm going with helper springs (they arrive tomorrow!) and then this part will be done, de, done DONE!
