Woot.

Not sure if I'll be able to do anything with it but I'm hoping I can narrow it and make it fit a wagon. LOL!

BRZ? No. FR-S? Possibly, they've been producing a commercial with Ken Gushi.

You still missing washers and rubber stops etc.? All the parts must be there for the coilovers to work as designed. Every space that should have a washer or spacer or rubber will add up to the amount of travel or "degree of clunk" for that system.

I recommend stock suspension setup with some meaty tires and mudflaps, monster truck stance FTMFW!!

It doesn't matter if I had the washer or the rubber stopper. The thread of the strut doesn't even go all the way through the top hat thus we can't put a washer on top of it to lock it in place. If we were to add those pieces in it would just make it even worse. I'll post up some pictures to show you what I mean.

Ok here's my suspension:







As you can see there is no space at all for that strut. For some reason in the very top picture, the hole in that top piece isn't big enough to go all the way down to the bottom like the one in this picture

It almost looks like the silver tophats should be removed from the assembly and only the OEM ones used. You got me on that one... Damn bilstien!

Actually now that I look at it. The rear tops that I have actually look like the fronts on the normal suspension. So they might actually be switched. I have no clue because I didn't put the suspension together. I could have 2 sets of fronts or they could be switch front with back.

I did and they still had no clue how to fix it lol. Now I think I'm going to wait for the black rubber piece that Bilstein just shipped out and when I get it I'm going to check if the fronts are switched with the rears. If they are, I'm gonna take it back to Auto Innovations and have them switch it back and have it aligned.
