Tein SuperStreet Damper, possible missing part? Options

[celicarus]

Hi all


I just received my package today and was wondering whether there should be 4 top hats for the springs. 2 front and 2 back - cause i only found 2 --

those who have purchased and installed this - the part i'm questioning is shiny gold spring top hat or called spring seat within the manual --

for stand alone coilovers - its refered to as the spring top hat --

those that have installed this - did you receive 4 gold spring seat / top hat that goes on top of the spring

And now for pics-





Sorry no full car shot, my camera batteries went dead tonight.

Overall its a very straightfoward install, however since my car is 11 years old it took ALOT of torque to get some of the bolts loose from rust. Also worth mentioning is that the rears are harder to install than the fronts.

I highlighted the rear sway bar end link in the picture because they presented the biggest challenge. If yours are old like mine then they may break easily or strip the allen wrench you use to hold it still because you can only put it in so far with all the rust. You may have to cut them off and get new ones instead, which fortunately I only needed one and I happened to locate one at a local parts store before they closed that night.

Other than that, a very sucessful installation which I owe a lot of credit to defgeph who came over in the pouring rain Sat. to give me a hand. After driving it for the first time this morning its definately changed the dynamics of the car 110%...much more stable and precise but the ride quality is still suprisingly forgiving when you hit bumps. I wont take on anything too fast or sharp until I check everything over again in a day or two, but definately an awesome upgrade so far.
