Don't think I forgot anything, especially on the rears. There wasn't too many pieces to begin with. The only thing I can think of is that when the assemblies were complete, the top isolator rubber was kind of molded to the old springs and when the new ones went on, they didn't mold as nicely since they are a different shape. So, the tophats were kind of at an angle due to this. I'm thinking the completed assemblies went in with the tophats at opposing angles. But, wouldn't that eventually settle once the rubber molds to the new springs?

So after my install of Koni yellows with Tein H springs, my right rear is sitting about an inch higher than the left rear. I know for a FACT that the lower perch is not on upside down on either side. But I know the orientation was different as far as which direction the perches were facing. Did I screw this up?? Can't think of what else it could be??

So just to clarify... It is a M10 X 1.25 X 29mm. At Napa, it's a wheel stud for a 1994-2000 Metro. Does it matter which way the lower perch faces on the rear Koni's?? Doesn't seem like it would... I wasn't to careful about the orientation on the first one. Side note: The black bolt provided by Koni to secure the bottom of the insert in the strut assembly was cracked across the bolt head from the center to the edge Didn't notice it until the assembly was completed...

Awesome. Thanks for thw prompt feedback!!! Will I need any special alignment with the H techs? I believe they only drop <1", so I wouldn't think so. Just a standard alignment, yeah? Now, where can I get some 3/8" spacers for the rear? Probably just cut my own from a HDPE cutting board if I can find one on the cheap

Ha!! Yeah just realized when the Koni is pulled down to the bottom of the OEM assembly, it will still be sticking out the top the same distance no matter what cut is made. Same with the distance from the perch to the top of the strut. Dur It seems like the most important measurement is to make sure the nubs on the Koni insert fit properly and completely inside the OEM assembly to secure to center and create a snug fit between insert and OEM assembly...
