google is your friend.

This is KYB AGX shocks with Skunk2 sleeves. Probably very similar process to your setup though.

yeah i seen that but my back struts are different

 

[civexspeedy]

Different how? Do you have a newer gen Civic ('01+)?

no no their for a 1996 acura integra sedan, i was just asking on this forum cause i thought people might know about it these are the struts, the 2 on the right are the rear ones , but i dont know how to seat the sleeves on that

The two on the right are the rears, and the sleeves just slide over the shock housing to the very bottom where the spring perches are.

omg thank you man! thats what i been looking for how they went in everywere! could you show me how you have your front one's aswell? ,

 

[manvir11]

i think i should have bought the skunk2 sleeves aswell because the 2 rear sleeves are longer then the front one's it looks like, and for the megan racing ones i have their all the same length, but i hope that doesnt affect the ride height much

The link I posted shows the assembly process for the fronts, but the rear assembly process is exactly the same. And being a sedan, coupe, or hatch is insignificant, the suspension is nearly all the same with integra/civic of those models.

Front ones are in the DIY I linked, if you bothered reading it...

It doesn't really matter how long the sleeves are... they are height adjustable so you can set your ride height how ever you want within the range of those sleeves. Which should be adequate.

yeah i did read it , i just thought you might of had a pic for it when it's installed in the car , but thank's so much man i think i got how it goes now

this is kind of a random question but when you lower your car are you supposed to have car even..or the front facing down more...or the back down more...Once side lower than othere or even

 

[civexspeedy]

Generally speaking, it's personal opinion. But most would say having the car evenly lowered front & back is the best as far as looks go.

 

[bkjj77]

ok ill do that thanks

 

[manvir11]

im probably gonna have the back a bit higher then the front because sometimes i might have more passengers in the back -.-

The springs should usually be able to hold your fat friends weight in the back...stay even haha

 

[manvir11]

haha true true cant wait to put them in
