Question about installing Coilovers PICS
 

Friend of mine just ordered some coilovers and shocks for his Del Sol. They came in today and we were looking at them. Neither of us has ever installed them before. We had a few questions about them.

the threaded sleeve drops way down into the cup, and it dosent fit in there tightly, wobbles around a bit, is this normal? do you lose that much of you adjustability?

These are the rear ones, and the front ones dont seem to fit the shock much better that the rear.. any suggestions?

werent there any instructions that came with them?

check out this pic to see what one of these looks like fully assembled (but not in car yet)

Did the coilovers come with mounts or do you have to use your stock ones?? BTW the setup looks fine to me.

almost all "sleeve" style coilovers retain the factory shock/strut mounts unless it came with new ones in your kit.
