Help ! Coilover install!

Nox · 10-03-2006, 01:45 AM

Anybody have pics of the rear install on megan coilovers? Fronts just perfect, but I am unsure of how the rear shock hardware is installed. Got them both torn apart, but it is very dificult to get the shock installed up top. Once I get them installed the suspension is so tight that mty rear whell will not touch the ground. I have them set at maximum height so that is not the issue. I am thinking my washer sleeve install is wrong!

I got part of the issue fixed. The wheel will sit on the ground. The jack was let all the way down, but the car lowered enough that it will sitting on the jack in the lowered position.

Anyway.... still not clear on how to mount the rear strut. Does anyone know if you use the factory rubber stops up top?
