Sorry for new thread but though it get a quicker response.
im putting the rear coilovers in my car and for some reason the thread at the top isn't coming through.
i'v realised that the top spring on the coilovers is very lose ie i can move it up and down with ease. (is that normal)
iv jack the rear drum up as far as it can go and still not enough threat through the top to fit nuts and washers.
