I'm installing kyb 4/8 way adjustable struts with Prodrive p1 springs. The fronts were pretty easy and went without a problem, but the rears just don't look right to me.
I got the oem strut out and took the parts reuseble from the old strut to the new like the lower rubber seat and the bump stop... but what I don't get is how the spring seat (the top metal one) is supposed to sit on the spring. I looked at station2station's write up on the install http://www.rs25.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70898 but there are no pictures of the rear strut to see how it sits. The way I have it now is the way it looks like in the diagram he has but the self locking nut on the top of the strut doesn't thread all the way through. It maybe gets half way down before it stops screwing in. Is this normal?
Is the spring supposed to be seated fully on the rubber spring seat after installing the top hat and the metal spring seat?
The notch where you line up the spring to the strut, its not fully seated after I put it all together.
Can someone help me please? I'm in the middle of the install and don't want to install it wrong.
