Re: coilovers
normally they should slide down over and sit on the perch.. there may be small screws and different sized rubber o-rings used to secure the collar to the strut. But they are crap, the ride quality is not worth the looks. I blew my oe strust with cheap coils. Just toss em.
Re: coilovers
well i wouldnt run them on my car and there not on mine there on the gyus car that lives by me. there are no screews that hold them on i got the orings and have not put them on yet but the spring purch is in the way from making them sit right.

Re: coilovers
You just slip em over the body and they rest on the top of the perch, don't bother with o rings just wrap the strut body in duct tape. Seriously, works well to hold em on there snug
Re: coilovers

Re: coilovers
It don't matter, it will look weird, but that's just how it is unless u cut out the perch and install a ring or something.
Re: coilovers
Yeah dont waste money on em. Got them on my 92, it blew my strut through my wheel well. strut is fully expanded and is 16th of a inch from hatch window. my $.02
