  1. My bf helped me assemble the struts today, can someone tell me if they look correct? https://ibb.co/Yk7kvhh https://ibb.co/80tb6Rm https://ibb.co/YTsq00k https://ibb.co/sbGBZ2j https://ibb.co/p0ZZ74s
  2. I picked up a set of spring compressors and attempted to assemble the front struts ahead of time so that this weekend I can just put them in the car but I couldn’t figure it out. When I place the first coil of the bottom into the strut , it tilts the spring at an angle making it very difficult to align the spring seat on top of the spring. Is the whole first coil suppose to sit making full contact with the strut base? Or is just the the tip of the spring that’s suppose to make contact ? Is the spring supposed to be angled when I try placing the spring seat?
  3. Thank you! Any recommendations on how to trim it? Front the top (wide side) or from the bottom? Maybe from both sides ?
  4. This. The stopper Eibach provided has a hole that’s too big and it slides down the rod on its own. If Eibach springs were made to use the factory struts, wouldn’t they know the stopper they provided is too big? Also, I don’t remember seeing an rear bump stop on the diagrams , can someone provide with the part number they are using ?
  5. I picked up the oem stopper for the front struts and the boots for both front and back. I tried the stopper that came with the eibach springs for the rear shocks and it is very loose compared to the fronts which are a tight fit, is it okay to be loose for the rears?
  6. Do you think I could get away with just buying the oem bump stop and using the kyb boot?
  7. Thank you, the bump stops that eibach provided with the springs for the rear are already shorter than the front ones , so should I cut them down even more? Does that mean I also have to cut down the kyb front ones ?
  8. Thank you! I will return those parts. I also checked and I do have the correct spring seat. I also received the dust covers for the rear shocks and noticed they didn’t have stoppers like the front, but My eibach springs came with their own rear stoppers , are these necessary ?
  9. I purchased the rubber seat ,spring seat and space for the front struts. Tried putting them together, pretty straight forward , but I’m struggling with the rubber seat . Is it suppose to be loose or wrap around the spring seat? I couldn’t find any clear pictures to see how it goes assembled. If anyone could please point me in the right direction
  10. I also did have a question about the dust cover and the bump stop, is the bump stop suppose to slide down all the way down to that silver plate on the strut? Or does it rest at the top ? When I tried assembling it I had to force it down a bit until it was resting on that silver plate
  11. Thank you! I knew there was something missing. I looked at the Subaru diagram for the front suspension and they only have the mount, spring, strut and bum and dust cover. There’s no conical washer or upper spring seat and rock auto doesn’t seem to have it either . Does Any one have the part numbers?
  12. I bought the Kyb struts and mounts to install the springs my boyfriend bought for me 340043 - rear struts 3340106/7- front struts Sm5765 - read mounts Sm5361- front mounts Sb103/sb113- belows But from what I’ve read on the forum it seems like I’m missing some pieces ? Is there something that goes between the mounts and the springs? My car is from 2014
