Coil over help please!!

[Hot_Wheels]

ok so today me and EGTeric pulled the stock festiva rear end and started to assemble the aspire one and get it ready to drop back in. We could not figure out how the coilovers should be assembled and of course there were no directions. i laid out all the pieces on a sheet of paper and put letter by them so give me the order you think it should be in. Also are there any pieces you think i should replace? im going to see if i can find some sleeves tommarow so the bolts fit good in the AGX shocks. I thought there was something that needed to be drilled out? Also im planning on ordering some QA1 shocks what would be a good weight spring for the rear for drag racing? should i get it just as short as the coilover spring?are the orings meant to keep the shock body in place? because there is alot of slop with out them.

o-rings go onto the strut shaft where the threaded collar is going on, its to stop it from vibrating and moving around.

if you have any flat rubber washers, they go where the coil spring meets the lock rings for the perches.

D is your bearing assembly, this will only be for the front since the rears don't have any bearings AFAIK. If you're using your stock strut mount, it goes on AFTER G which is the upper spring perch, those holes are pre-drilled so you can zip tie the coil spring to it so the spring won't unseat when the strut retracts over bumps/lifting for servcing.

basically you have it correct, then all you do is after D (upper spring perch) install all your upper strut mount assembly like you would replacing a coil spring/strut assembly. http://www.gpiperformance.com/images...17-05-0890.jpg

PS. you'll need new bump stops, something not as wide, and about 1/2 as tall.
