I got it off and reassembled....dont even ask how.

Know the issue is that even after cutting 1.5 inches off of bumpstop I think the shock top plate thingy is resting on the bumpstop after putting on tire and lowering to ground.

I may cut 2 inches off the next,then I will have to remove the first and cut another 1/2 inch off aswell.

The car doesnt seem to have lowered near as much as the back..looks stock to be honest.


could this be because the other side was still at stock height with stock spring?

Really,really frusturated.


UPDATE:

Tried to loosen the top nut and know the strut shaft allen key hole is stripped.

Looks like I will need to get it towed to a shop know because cant drive it with different shocks on each wheel.

Unless anyone has any suggestions.Not enough meat above the nut to get vicegrips either.


What a bloody nightmare.
