Coil-Over Confusion

[giddyup306]

It looks like their is two ways I can set up my coil-overs, and I'm not sure which to use. In the first picture I show the MM bump stop that they sent with their cc plate. In the second I show the spacer that came with the coil-over. If I use the MM bump stop I have to have the adjustment on the spring all the way down to fit on the shaft properly. I have Lakewood 90/10 struts and 14/175 springs. What coil-over kit do I have you may ask? Well I have a QA1 k member and a arms so I decided to stick with the brand. I went on eBay and got the matching QA1 coil kit. I bought the Lakewoods from Summit, so I decided to call them and ask them. They then told me to call their tech line. Their tech line gave me the number to QA1. QA1 then told me that they DO NOT make such a kit. The seller of the kit won't answer any of my messages! Selling a product that is not what is advertised is theft by deception!!! I'm actually pretty angry about the whole deal. I know that we are all human, and we make mistakes, but not replying to messages is just dirty. The impression I got from them is F this guy we already got his money. So if you see a great deal from billetspeeddepot don't plan on getting any customer service, or even the right part for that matter. In conjunction to this problem these are poor quality. I had to do some serious grinding on the strut and still pound it on with a mallet.

Pic 2 is correct. The MM bump stop you have is not meant for a coil over application. The coil over kit should have come with a different style bump stop that is to be installed on the maine section of the strut shaft within the spring. You can also check MM's site, as I believe they sell the correct bump stop.

Pic 2 also. The bumpstop is if you don't have coilovers so you use that in conjunction with the original plastic/rubber shield that goes over the shock. I believe I used the original rubber bumpstop that came with my shocks..
