why do they never give all the coilover nuts?
« on: 09 May 2012, 12:56 »
ok my new coilovers just arived from germany today after waiting 2 weeks for them.

what i want to no is why do they never include the flat nut that holds down the top plate on the coilovers?
as they fit together on the shox helper, middle plate bit, coil, top plate, flat nut, bearing, top mount then once on the car top mount plate and the final big locking nut.
but why do they never include the flat nut that goes under the bearing?

ok will hopefully fit my tomorrow. will let you no what they are like.
i have a feeling they are the same coilovers as TA technics ones as the C spanner that came in my set says TA tchnics on it and the coilovers look exactly the same as the last lot i bought for my black mk3 and i liked them coilys. had no issues with them at all.
