5464, Cheap ebay coilovers part 2- MY FAULT
Posted by mrlocalpimp, Jan-07-02 11:08 AM
Ok I blamed it on the coilovers that the back left collar fell off the metal bumps as well as the spring while I was driving.....

I take the blame.

I used the wrong metal o-ring. Did you know the back struts are thinner than the front?? I used the front orings which are wider..... SO thats why it fell.....

Of course this wouldnt have happened if cheap ebay coilovers had INSTUCTIONS AT ALL. I used some net instructions as best I could... I tried my best. I take most of the fault..... But I really woulda done perfect if I did have instructions.....

hahahahha thats hillarious...

don't worry dude, i did the same thing. i have maxspeeds. one poped off 30 seconds into my test drive and the other came off the next day. i just assumed that the other metal ring was the correct one becuase i figured it would have fell off also.

At least you didn't get in an accident which is the most important part.

Hehe skunk2's come with horrible instructions too. Yes, the rear struts are thinner, and I had to use different metal washers and O-rings, and it didn't sit nearly as good as the fronts when I put it together by hand, but it's held up for over half a year...
