THOSE WHO DROPPED their cars THEMSELVES and changed shocks

evrything wqas going smooth until i got to assemble my koni / eibach combo.

main prob- the oem bump stop cant fit over the knuckle on the koni shaft wtf do i do????

second prob- doesnt eibach reccomend trimming the oem bump stop??

since today is sun and no one is open i cant get tech help. and god damn! koni's intructions are as useless as tits on a bull.

not major prob- i cant figure out where 1 of the energy suspension busings go on my shock. there are no lower shock bushings on the oem. tommorrow is another day.

It only seems impossible, to get the bump stops thru, stand the shock up straight and use FORCEFUL shoves on the bump stop to get it thru. Simply trying to push it thru will not be enough.

As for trimming, instruction sheet does not list it as required for the CL, at least the 3.0 from what I remember.

FOr the bump stop, cut that in half, and use the wider part. IF you don't cut it, you might bottom out.
