the O ring is a rubber ring, maybe 1mm thick and about 2 or 3 inch diameter... i don't really understand their purpose.. when i installed the ground controls for a friend I didn't use them, so you should be fine

I think its a little rubber ring almost like a rubber band that slips around the factory strut and then the coilover sleeve slides(not easily) over the ring. This helps prevent rattling from the metal sleeve on the strut. You kinda have to take a flat head and push the oring up between the sleeve and the strut...hope that helps if not email me at rowdyb7@hotmail.com

DizWikedCivic is on a distinguished road
the O-ring goes on the shocks, it secure the sleeve thread so it wont move up and down
