I am going to pull my rear coil overs later this week to see what I messed up, but thought I would ask for ideas in the meantime. Putting my car together after being apart for a really long time, and I noticed my rear coil over shock studs are pushing through the mount into the trunk way too far - so far that I can't tighten the nut enough to secure it. I am guessing my top hat is not stopping the shaft soon enough. A pic of my shock before installing is as seen. Note I have the top hat and first bushing below the shock support, and bushing, washer, and nut above the support (in the trunk). Am I missing something? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Those look like the Rebel Racing set up I have on my car. Mine used a 2.25 spring but it also looks like they offer hats for a 2.5 inch spring as well.

Here is a photo from their website....

Here is a photo that shows original sized springs vs the 2.25 set up. This photo was taken before I receive the proper trumpet nuts from Koni.
