hey thanks alot. that helps. the only thing i dont get, is what it means about turning the end of the shock 180 degrees. will i need the beaks kit also? or will the mounting plates on the d-brackets be good enough?

 

so the backing plate goes on the swaybar side, and just the nuts go on the other side? or do the backing plates go on the nut side? do i also need a beaks kit with this. i cant afford the asr plate right now or i would get that. but is this bar big enough to warrant the beaks?


i figured out the shock turning thing.

 

i had one on my civic back in the day...

 

so you had to take out the shock bolt and the other bolt on the end to drop the lca, and turn the shock mount around? thats what i get from everything.

 

looks more direct, but seems like a weird setup..

sorry.. just commenting..

 

ok i tried this, but stuff started shifting weirdly so i put everything back together. im ready to have another go at it, but it looks like i have to actually take the whole shock out, and turn the whole thing 180 degrees, then mount it again, and thats it? can i get some feedback on this one. is this what others have done? thanks.

 

if you have have stock springs, then yes, you'll need to remove the whole thing.. if you have aftermarket springs, most of them do not pack tightly against the top mount so if you unbolt the bottom bolt of the shock, you could rotate it.

 

hey thanks man. too bad its about to start raining.

 

i had to spin my rear struts 180º in order for everything to fit correctly.
