The coil-overs on page 183 of the manual don't look like mine, and I don't appear to have any sort of c-clip.

Did FFR switch the Koni's, or am I missing something?

Thanks

I just put mine together yesterday and they were just like the manual shows. Just got my kit on the 9th, so I imagine you've had your's for awhile longer.

Mine are the "old" style as well, They don't match the production manual but the latest of the beta manuals still showed them the way mine are. FFR could probably send you the couple of pages without an issue. Anyone know why they changed it?

Well, I finally got to this point in the build. My Koni's appear to be the early style as well.

I've got no "hat" or "C-clip". But I do have what look to be machined aluminum spring ends (aka alum hat).

How do I get these things on? Looks like I'd have to take off the eye end to get them on?

Nevermind, I got it figured out. The old-style ends simple slip over the piston after moving the bump stop.
