I have the coleman collars and hyperco springs; they were supposedly the correct setup for my Bilsteins (and everything basically seems to fit together).
BUT - with the rubber snubbers reinstalled and everything in the places where they seem to belong, there is not enough thread left at the top of the shock rod to get decent engagement on the top nut. WTF am I doing wrong? Or did they send me the wrong stuff? Pic to follow in a moment...TIA |

I went through this a while back when I had the same problem. The way I got round it was to use a non slotted Eibach hat and drill it to the exact size for the shaft and dispense with the gold coloured washer completly.
