Sorry I cannot help Dave, but to give you a bit of encouragement I had to take mine to a second garage to get them sorted after I had them fitted but nothing extra was bought other than the kit.

thats how i had them, but without the blue washer, i thought that was just packing, but now i look at link above you get the washers with new bump stops, so i going to put it back together with that washer under the top cap if it fits.
got mine off german ebay

Weird :confused:

Im sure that oval thing goes in the top of your stut top and the top of the strut goes up through from the bottom and there should be a large dished washer that sits inside that that allows for the adjustion :confused:

This is very confusing. I take it theres no joy from asking on their website about fitting it is there? :(
 
Im sure that the gold bit goes in the top of the inner strut top then the bolt oes inside that, as althoguh thats looks correct, im sure that isnt the way they go. I'll be wrong likely! have you emailed the makers to see how they fit?

BTW early when i sed is it defo for the front, i wasnt having a blonde moment (coz im ginger :D ), i just wondered as i have worked with coilovers like that for the rear where the spring is replaced from the standard position of the normal rear shockers like the picture
