jkgts1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I am putting together the coilovers for my 260z. I am using Koni race shocks and hypercoil springs. I am using the stock rubber insulators for now, but I have a question about assembly. Here are some pictures. So, I put on the springs, aluminum spring perch that came with the threaded sleeves, then stock insulator. Does that sound right? The Konis also cam with the extra parts in one of the pics, nuts, metal ring, plastic washer, and some kind of bushing/ sleeve. Not sure where the bushing/ sleeve and plastic washer goes. If anyone can enlighten me it would be a great help. Edited March 6, 2010 by jkgts1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white plastic disc goes on top the gland nut around the shock shaft. The extra nuts are used to lock the top nut. The bushing is used if you're running a 5/8" spherical bearing as the top mount. It takes up the space between the 14mm shaft the the ID of the spherical bearing. You are missing the bump stops. You must run those with the Konis.

Yes I have the bump stops, just didn't have it on when I took the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
