Fitted my coilovers, used most parts from my old susspension and followed the fitting guide, i strugled to get the nut on the stop of the threaded screw bit, just wondering if this is the order everything shud go as it's a very tight squeeze.

Spring
cup
bearing
spacer
rubber
cup
nut

Is this rite? I compressed the spring quite alot, tightened it as much as i can. Should i be ablt to see any thread in the cup? I'm worried it's not correct.

Wind the adjuster down to the bottom of the coilover, should easily be able to get to the thread then

Sounds like you've got helper springs on too. Have you pulled the damper all the way up?
