Hello everyone,
My name is Justin and I'm obviously not very good at putting coilovers on. My friend and I decided we would put coilovers on the Cruze, as its one of the last mods I feel like I need. I bought five8 industry coilovers. The front was not as easy as we'd hoped. Every time we set it down, we would have a metal-on-metal contact that would create a HUGE gap and obviously this isn't right. I've taken the liberty to come to the forum as I'm completely out of options. I've posted 3 pictures to help explain what's happening, and my idea of a possible solution. #1 is the top of the new coilovers, #2 is my old set with the rubber top hat i assume i have to remove and put on the new ones, and #3 is the huge gap its causing because it's clearly missing something. I would've tried doing this myself but after 9 hours we had to call it quits and I decided I'd stop here before trying something else. I'm completely out of options, if anyone knows someone who can help, or knows how to fix this problem please let me know. Only looking for help, not looking for the "should've taken it to a professional" comments I constantly see when people are looking for a helping-hand, I know that now LOL.
