Just picked up some bumpstops (thanks JR) and i am gonna fit them tomorrow, i think they may sort the problem of the front of my car being so high as it is just sitttingg on the current ones, just wondered which way do they go on and has anybody got a picture of a complete macpherson strut (lowered) with them fitted?

whould appreciate any help, also is there a certain direction the top part of the strut go in (the bit that rotates) or can it go in either way?

stop the top mount of the suspension strut coming into contact with the piston rod, and also stops the sudden impact feeling by being progressive.
