The 180.64.44 springs are 7", 2.5" ID, and ~250 lbs-in. They go in the rear, usually with the taller sleeve.

The 200.64.58 springs are 8", 2.5" ID, and ~325 lbs-in. They go in the front, usually with the shorter sleeve.

The lower mounting fork is held onto the bottom of the damper by a pinch bolt. Remove the pinch bolt and you can pull them apart, as seen here. If you have a front sway bar, you may need to disconnect it to allow the lower control arm to droop low enough to give you space to work. Follow .RJ's write-up on the first page.

hey targa
i just got it installed today.it seems fine.
the bumpstops were shredded to peices when i removed the stock shocks.it crumbled to bits.
i assemlbed everything back together just as i read on the instruction paper.
i did not put the bumpstop,as there was not any at tht time.will this cause a problem ?? what are bumpstops for ?
i will postpics of it here.....

all 4 GC sleeves - the adjuster knob is sitting at the very top on each sleeve.i dont knw y.i did this because if i rolled the adjuster to the middle - the spring would get loose -therfore moving freely down and up on the shock.to stop this - i had to turn it allt eh way to the top as the spring can fit tightly to the top mount. Why is this? i dont know if i can take it any lower - as this problem will occur .... please help - the car seems to move and run normal.its bouncy alot... please help.
thankyou
