Anybody have detailed installation pics of the installation of c/c plates? As some of you know, I installed these a month or two ago while the car was up on stands. Well, the past weekend, I've since lowered the car back onto it's wheels. Not sure if this is right, but the threaded shaft from the actual shock sticks up about another 3/4" with the body weight of the car. Is this normal. Please let me in on something, I obviously don't know. LOL.

Jeff,

What plates did you use? Do you have C/O's? Maximum Motorsports has some good install articles on their site, if you want to take a look. That might help...

Fixed.

Turns out, I'm an idiot and there weren't supposed to be any 'spare parts'. LOL. Thanks for your help. FYI....I forgot the large spacer that goes on the strut shaft before it goes up into the c/c plate.
