    i had coil overs, i didn't used any of the tones of round rubber band things. but i took the struts out with the springs, took the springs off (you'll need a spring compressor or not, depend on wether you want to put an eye out or not) then put the coil on there then dustcap inside the coil. use the flat round platic thing to have the new springs sit on the ajusting gears on the coil or it'll scratch. then put the spring on and cap it off with the 10mm lock nut. dang! there was also the yellow travel bushing and other crap. totally blew by me. sorry i can't be of more help, i guess i was high when i was doin it or something.
    3geez for life.
