Coilover Assembly

[sb]

So I have to admit, I have a shockingly low knowledge of suspension components. I was told there was a full set of Tein coilovers in the back of my RX7 and Ive just got it all out. It is indeed stamped Tein but I have no idea if its all there, I know for certain there are adjusters missing.

I was hoping Tein would have something listed on their site but they don't list anything for an FC, so RR can you help?

Ive numbered this image for ease of communicating. There are a pair of shocks and springs I just included 1 of each.

Otherwise here are the close ups.

1. Rear shock
2. Front shock
3/4. Springs, obviously. The heavier/longer ones are *probably* the fronts.
5.front top mount plates. Slotted for camber adjustment.
6. Rear top mount plates
7/9 are the spring top caps but they're mixed up/mispainted. The two with the larger holes are fro the front.
8. Go under the front springs to stop the springs turning as you turn the adjusting collars.
10. ARB brackets. Probably fronts then 12. Are for the rear.
11. Look like lower rear shock mounts.
13.front topmount pillow balls. Flat side goes to inside of car.
14. Rear top mount pillow balls both f&r should have bolts to attach to the top plates.
15.adjuster lock rings. There should be 4.
16.front top nuts.
17.dunno. Smaller bracket for something
18. Washer for something, possibly goes under rear topmount for bump stop to sit against.
19/20/21. Rear top mount nuts, lock washers and top hat spacer that fits under mount.
22. Adjuster collar. There should be 4.
23. Not sure.
24-26. Sundry spacers. Probably to space bottom mounts or take up unused thread on top mounts.
27. Dust boots. Usually go in the bin.

Cheers Dez,does this look right then?

It feels like the pillow ball is the wrong way round but this is the only way its all snug.

That looks right, except the pillow ball is a bit tight to the top cap so I'd chuck one of the misc. spacers under the top hat spacer to move the pillowball up a bit.

Cheers for your help!
