Dont be like one guy i saw on honda-tech, he installed the coilovers and put the perches on top of the coilovers instead of the bottom.

There were alot of oreo's there.

The o-rings go on the shock bodies then you slide the sleeves on. I'd suggest getting new shocks. Stockers aren't meant to be lowered, and won't last too long.
