Ok, sorry about a stupid question, I've never done struts before. I put my Eibach Pro-Kit springs on the front of my Impreza L and they seemed fine. But, I get to the back ones and I don't even need to compress them to put the top hats on. I'm thinking I put the back srpings on the front struts. Please shed some light!

 

i just put the same set on my 03 wrx and i didnt need the compresser at all even to take them off .

 

I had em backwards! Well, they are on now... @ 2:20 AM... Didn't need to compress them to put them back on, I could hold it down enought to get the nut threaded on. Can't wait to test drive tomorrow!
