BC Racing Coilover Installation

Just installed my BC Racing coilovers last night but I'm pretty sure I botched the installation in the front, though maybe not. Does anyone have/can anyone find an installation video/manual they could post here?

This. It also occurred to me that my preload is definitely too low, hence the "though maybe not."

There's a nut on top of that rubber piece as well, just can't see it in the picture.

There should not be a nut below it. They both go on top. I know on my Megan coilovers, they used just one nut above it.

Another thought real quick, did you reuse the other rubber piece from the old strut? The one the would sit on the underside of the strut tower?

Fixed it. That visible nut was supposed to go under the thick rubber piece from the old strut.
