    This is why it needs tobe off set see the green line.... that's how yours would sit on the car because the strut (coilover) is at a angle when fitted hope this help lol

    Pictures always help! It just seems angled wrong now since turning and also seems the yellow rubber bit is lower on one and not the other and wont push any higher

    If I get lower strut bolts off ill see how they fit. Worst case put the normal struts back on.

    Cheers

    Right, I'm just sorting the rears. Can move the unlock collar AND the adjustment.. who'd of thought?!

    1. Loosen the bottom collar and spin to bottom or whatever
    2. Turn the top collar right to heighten or lower?
    3. Turn the top collar left to heighten or lower?

    Haha.. Thanks again

    Can't get the strut out any further. Guessing the low arb needs undoing? Can't see which bolt it is

    Dude you seem to be struggling a lot with this. I'd be worried with the safety of the finished job if you're this unsure.
    Well done for having a go. Got to learn somewhere. Do some reading and get your work checked by a garage.
    Drop link is the o-o shaped part above the jack in your first pic. 13mm socket I think.
