Hmmm... Anyone seen this before? On both sides of my car, the spring seems to deflect (sometimes?) and rub the shock body and adjustable collar. The threads are ruined on the collar.
Any ideas? -Steve Attached thumbnail(s)

I bought a coil over kit from Rich J awhile back but haven't installed/used them yet.
From what the instructions say the top of the spring needs to be wire tied to the shock/spring cap. I'm guessing that's why now that I see your post. I'm not sure if that would fix the problem or just move more on the lower perch? I'll see if I have some pics handy if not I'll take some later and post them here. Luke Added some pics if it helps.
