Shocks & Springs HELP NEEDED

okay... the old shocks and spring need replacing... i took the liberty of getting a set of Tokico HPs and an Eibach Pro Kit... when i got the Tokico's... i looked @ the front struts and am curious as to why there is no seat for the spring... i checked the part # again and everything seems in order... am i missing something or am i just being retarded?

Front struts are cartridges. You replace the insert, not the whole unit.

Download the FSM you need in my sig line. It even shows how to rebuild the front struts, but I don't know of anyone that sells parts anymore. Pour a couple of oz. of oil down the strut tube before inserting the strut, this will aid in cooling.
