    Need Guidance With Strut Assembly

    If you see the pictures below you'll see one with my brand new Ground Control strut mount for *stock style* springs and one with my old OE strut mount. Both are mocked with my new koni SA's. There is no way to get enough threads to show to get the strut assembled.

    As you can see because of the design difference I cannot get enough threads to poke through to be safe or to even screw the nut/washer on. I don't understand why this is the case because the mounts are supposed to work with stock style springs and my H&R are 'stock style'

    What is going on here? You would think I got the wrong parts but I know I ordered correctly. You can bet I'll be emailing GC about this but was hoping someone can expedite...

      In my picture it isn't a washer you're seeing it's the bushing guide. They actually come ziptied in installed fashion. I'm awaiting response from GC because I'm 99% sure I was sent the wrong mounts.

        Confirmed I was sent the wrong part... apparently I was sent the mount for e46's. Just wanted to follow up in case this happens to someone else.
