Problem fitting rear coilovers

The drivers side went to plan fine but when I went to fit the passenger side I found this:



Notice how the top studs are perfectly aligned with the bottom holes, where as they should be slightly offset. So it's preventing the unit from being mounted. How do I fix this? Is the top part somehow adjustable?

 

you should be able to just twist it. it will be tight though

 

Yep, just be a man and twist it. I can do it, so it can't be too hard

 

ah cool no worries it was time for a break anyway so ill go back out and give it a twist need a fan in the shed its killer

 

Are they SS, Kurt? If so, dump them as low as they go & you still won't be low. Yes I know, that rhymed

 

The red line is irrelevant since your picture is not level.

 

Your comment is irrelevant.

 

I liked my SS, i think im going to put them back in.
Any lower and the chassis struggles with flex (with the targa anyway).

 

Struggles?

 

I don't get it either...

As in Tein Flex, or the chassis flexing?

 

Yeah they are. I don't have much ground clearance though with my sump and also the extractors sit lower than the chassis rails so I can't go as low as you

Getting rear guards rolled on Monday and waiting on my SPL rear camber arms then i'll drop it.

 

Sorry, what I meant was set them to the lowest setting & you should still have plenty of clearance. They are nice and soft (compared to Flex), which is what you want for launching
