I forgot where that site is, but it completely thoroughly explains how to install coilovers on struts. It involves first grinding down the top of the strut body so that the coilover sleeve fits on it. then take duct tape and wrap the strut body until the sleeve fits snugly on the strut. Then put the rest of the stuff on, and reinstall the strut.

Duh, right here

i got coilovers on ebay the other day and i got the strut off and couldnt see how it worked, it would make sence to me to grind off that mushroomed part so the sleeve slides all the way down, but will it rest in the original spring cup fine or is there more duct tape fabrication needed lol
