Koni - Ground Control coilover install questions?

[TheEJ8]

was wondering if anyone who has koni ground control coilovers could tell me how to set them up


I found this But by the diagram It shows the curved washer faced up. but in other pictures I see, its down. And do I use both of the nuts or only one of the nuts

Wrong. The washer is suppose to be the either way. Facing up.
OP I have the same suspension setup. I used this DIY. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1212527
Also if you type in koni/GC install in google their are plenty of DIY.

^This.

Also noticed you only have one but at the very top. There are supposed to be 2 nuts at the top of the shock.

But I still have 2 washers left over, the thiner ones. That is the only thing im unsure of where it goes or if I even need it?

If you're following the DIY you linked in your original post, for some stupid reason that guy refers to the 2 top nuts as washers... They are nuts.. Since you say you have 2 "washers" left over, it's because you didn't stack them like you're supposed to.

Tighten the first one down, the lock it with the second nut.

I know he made a type-o or something. I wasn't recreating his mistake . So when I said two washers
I meant 2 washers left over that are a different thickness from the two that I used.
I put all four together with out them because from that diy I guess he didnt use them either.

BUT if I should have put them somewhere, id just like to know. I dont see why 2 pointless washers would be in there, obviously they go SOME where.

Order that I put every thing on starting with shock.

Shock
Plastic washer
Sleeves and Springs
bumpstop
Thick washer
top mount
curved washer - faced up
2 jam nuts

If you follow the pic that I have provided then you should be good. That's what I went by when assembling mine.

Not my pic.

 

[TheEJ8]

Yeah I went by that as well. I mean im not to worried about it. Was just curious why there was 2 left over. 4 total.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Sounds like you has it right to me. Not sure why there are 2 washers left over since you mentioned everything that's needed for assembly. Slap them on and have fun.
