damn you got the focuz coilovers...sorry. if you had asked before buying them id have been able to tell you not to order them. for $50 less you could have gotten the softer maxspeeds that fit over the strut itself with a ledge rather than having to thread in three tiny allen screws into teh struts. those coilovers suck. over time, the coilover perches will strip out the threads over the area where the allen bolt holes are drilled. the design was thrown togehter with little or no rational thought put into it. not to insult you, but if i were you id take them off asap and sell them for some maxspeeds, skunks, or GCs. the longer you keep them the worse they will get. ive got 4 unusable focuz collars - they all stripped, and i cant turn them even using the two wrenches. and the "helper" spring compresses completely when the weight of the car is on the coilovers, so its just an added hunk of metal thrown in between your spring and spring cap.
