URGENT: Suspension Question
Aleromod suspension gurus, what is wrong with my passenger strut assembly? This is the suspected clunker. What is wrong about the spring and upper mount orientation?

the spring doesn't seem to be seated 100% straight on it from your pictures. the top seems to be slanted a bit

ya i'm gonna compress it and see what i can do
i aligned the spring with the position of the end of the coil at the bottom where the old stock spring was. i think i was supposed to align the top's position instead to make it sit right

Getting the rear stuff on tomorrow most likely.
Rear looks lower than usual because there's a lot of heavy shit in the trunk.

No, they would look terrible on a red car. Right now they blend in and look clean. I tend to hate tinting items that are meant to be bright. Tinted headlights too look so silly and are typically on cheapo cars that can't afford other mods.
