These are old rubbers that's why they look stuffed. Also when you twist the top rubber on you might need a flat head screwdriver to pry open the spring .

I never took out the bottom rubber. I will play around with it bait more as soon as I drop the gf off at work. My springs came with the top rubbers I bought them off a member someone wrote ED/LH and ED/RH on each one so I'm guessing the must of came out of an Ed are the still the same?? I mean I think the would be.

Ok so you've got the top rubbers on. Did you push them into the top housing ?? Make sure they are in good. Then you'll have to twist the spring so the end of it sits up against the bottom rubbers step. Like in the pic

Try it with 2 ppl. One lowering the car and one using a crowbar to lever the spring in.
If that fails the spring must be f**k .

If their chopped their f**k .
As I said in the before post if the springs don't sit flat on the ground they won't sit in the spring seat. That's why u cant chop springs because the coil has less surface area in the rubber seat. Where as a uncut spring the last coil will be flat and will have more surface area in the seat .
