The coned top hat is supposed to sit on top of the coil, with grease in between.
What is this rubber piece? Post up a picture and I'll tell you what goes where. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

No clue - mine didn't have any of that for the rear. Mine was the coned top hat sitting on the spring. Do you have the threaded sleeves set properly? Sounds like the front is way too low.
Take a picture of this rubber and metal coupler. The only rubber on my setup was a small O-ring that slid onto the shock body to hold the threaded sleeve in place. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

   Just like the bottom picture, cept you need the mounts on top of it. That should be it, only reason my mounts aren't on, cause I havn't taken them off the car. |
