So i bought Koni Coilovers used and they are in great condition. I am wondering what parts should come with the set and what tools i will need to install them. The reason i ask is because there are no tops to the set so i will have to compress the springs to put them on the shock. Do i use the stock hats or tops or w/e they call them?

Hmmm.....

Coilovers are supposed to be one opiece, like these :



Looks like you bought koni struts and springs.

They should be one piece, unless they took them apart for some reason.

 

thats what they are bu i beleive they were taken apart at one time because the tops are not on them. can i use the stock tops from my stock suspension?

 

I would replace the stock strut mounts while you are in there... might as well. I thinkits cheap and theold onesmight start squeeking once you get those on there.

correct me if I'm wrong I dont even have upgraded suspension...

 

where can i get new ones?

 

stealer? or a reputable parts dealer. there not too much maybe $15 each. dont quote me on that.

 

oh u mean just replace the oem ones... okay i thought u meant aftermarket ones.

are these the two items i need. the 1st i beleive is the strut mount and the second is the bumper peice that goes in the middle of the shock. Please correct me if i am wrong or do not need these or if i need more then just these

I would call Koni directly or the previous owner and tell them what the current state of the coilover is and what needs to be done before they can be installed.

 

you have to reuse you old shock mounts and crap. i bought my konis brand new and they looked just like how yours look. http://www.koni-na.com/cat_search.cf...amp;submit.y=3
